Jamgön Kongtrul the Great

The Rinchen Terdzö (Wyl. rin chen gter mdzod), "the Treasury of Precious Termas" is one of the the Five Great Treasures of Jamgön Kongtrul the Great. It is a compilation drawn from all the termas that had been discovered up to his time, including Chokgyur Lingpa's treasures. Fearing that these teachings would be lost, he started the work in 1855 with the blessing of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and it was completed in 1889. It represents 63 volumes in the edition published by Kyabjé Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche in India, with the addition of several more volumes of termas and commentaries.
