Dorsem Nyingtik
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Dorsem Nyingtik (Wyl. rdor sems snying thig), the Heart Essence of Vajrasattva, is a terma revealed by Kunkyong Lingpa and included in the Rinchen Terdzö. According to some sources, such as Katok Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu, it is included in the Nyingtik Yabshyi, the "Four Parts of Nyingtik".[1]
Lineage
It is said that Guru Rinpoche received the teachings directly from Garab Dorje and transmitted them to Vairotsana. Dorje Lingpa and Kunkyong Lingpa, who were incarnations of Vairotsana revealed the terma, and an identical version was also revealed by Taksham Nüden Dorje, who was an incarnation of Vairotsana's scribe, Labu Dönyö Dé.[2]
