Sherik Dorje Nӧnpo Gyü, 'The Sharp Vajra of Awareness', is one of the five Dzogchen tantra termas revealed by Dudjom Lingpa. This tantra is the wisdom mind treasure (Tib. gongter) of Dudjom Lingpa who experienced Kuntuzangpo directly in a vision, giving teachings and answering questions to his own emanation's retinue of bodhisattvas.

Pema Tashi, a major student of Dudjom Lingpa composed a 126-page commentary to the Sherik Dorje Nönpo Gyü.

Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche wrote: "Dudjom Rinpoche studied the tantra Sherik Dorje Nӧnpo Gyü, and the dynamic energy of his awareness welled up as the sublime knowing that discerns the true nature of phenomena. He easily and very naturally understood the difficult points of the vast lasses of tantras of the Vajrayana path"[1].
