Rigdzin Düpa (rig 'dzin 'dus pa) is the inner lama practice from the Longchen Nyingtik, the terma revelation of Jikmé Lingpa.
The Deities of Rigdzin Düpa
At the centre of the mandala is Guru Rinpoche in union with Mandarava. Above his head is Garab Dorje and Samantabhadra. He is surrounded by the eight vidyadharas who are in essence the eight deities of Kagyé:
- East - Humkara - Yangdak Heruka
- South - Manjushrimitra - Yamantaka
- West - Nagarjuna - Hayagriva
- North - Prabhahasti - Vajrakilaya
- South-east - Dhanasamskrita - Mamo Bötong
- South-west - Vimalamitra - Düdtsi Yönten
- North-west- Rombhuguhya - Jikten Chötö
- North-east - Shantigarbha - Möpa Drakngak
They are all surrounded by all the vidyadharas of India and Tibet and the twenty-five disciples and yidam deities, dakas, dakinis and dharma protectors.
