Rangjung Pemé Nyingtik

Rangjung Pema Nyingtik (rang byung padma snying thig) - A mind terma of Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, a practice of the Three Roots. This was first revealed in Tibet when Khyentse Rinpoche was with Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. The revelation was kept secret and the texts were left at Mindroling monastery and later lost. Years later in exile in Nepal, Trulshik Rinpoche heard about this practice as he was receiving the oral transmission for the Kangyur from Khyentse Rinpoche and he requested Khyentse Rinpoche to reveal it again. They went to Yangleshö and after seven days of practice, Khyentse Rinpoche revealed the practice for a second time. The visualization is as follows: One visualizes oneself as Hayagriva in union with Vajravarahi. At one's forehead is Pema Tötreng Tsal and the eight vidyadharas. At one's heart centre is Chemchok Heruka. At the navel is Vajravarahi and at the secret centre, Ekadzati.
