View source for Revelation from memory

'''Revelation from memory''' ([[Wyl.]] ''rjes dran'') is a type of [[terma]] revelation and one of the [[seven authoritative transmissions]]. The tertön remembers the teaching received in a past life and writes it down. 

''[[Chetsun Nyingtik]]'', the famous Dzogchen cycle, is a terma that was revealed through recollection. As [[Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]] travelled on horseback through [[Uyuk]] in [[Tsang]], he remembered everything about his previous life as [[Chetsün Senge Wangchuk]], then wrote it all down. From these remembered revelations, he revealed the instructions [[Vimalamitra]] gave to Chetsün Senge Wangchuk, which are now known as the ''Chetsun Nyingtik''.
