TERTÖNS - THE TREASURE FINDERS (PDF-1924)

The photo included below was taken during my trip to the town Jekundo in Kham, Tibet in 2004. It is when I met one of the reincarnations of the great tertön (treasure finder) Tsikey Chokgyur Lingpa Rinpoche.

One of the more intriguing areas of Tibetan Buddhism (especially for me) are what is called "terma," which are precious dharma treasures that are hidden (and waiting to be found) in the earth and also right in the mind itself. These terma or mind treasures come to light and are found only when the world is ready to receive them.
