'''Vajra Heart, A Spontaneous Song that Reveals the Ultimate''' ([[Wyl.]] ''rdo rje snying po don gyi thol glu'') is a [[terma]] revealed by [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] in [[Drakkar Tashiding|Tashi Ding]], Sikkim, through a vision of [[Lhatsün Namkha Jikmé]]. The cycle mainly emphasises the [[Dzogrim|perfection phase]]. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche writes:
:Regarding the ''Ultimate Spontaneous Vajra Heart Song'', while I, the fortunate, aimless yogi Mangala, was roaming about in free countries, I accidentally went to the celestial Tashi Ding Mountain in the hidden holy land of Sikkim. I had a mixed feeling of joy and sadness like a dense cloud, and my feelings of bliss and sorrow continued like a hailstorm. Singing a song of supplication, while mentally focusing on my master with intense longing and mingling my mind with his, I had a direct vision of the self-existing awareness Longchen Heruka, who also conferred a symbolic empowerment. Through his blessing, I also discovered the essence of this text and decoded it in a state of confidence. As one embodiment emanates innumerable magical displays, I also saw the joyful countenance of my master [[Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö|Jamgön Chökyi Lodrö]], and while awakening to the nonconceptual expanse of realization, I kept receiving his comforting compassionate blessings...<ref>''Brilliant Moon'', pages 143-145.</ref>
