Dzinpa Rangdröl Cycle
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.

Dzinpa Rangdröl Cycle
The Tibetan word Dzinpa means to cling or to fixate. Rang means self, innate, or inherent. Dröl means liberation. Consequently, the term Dzinpa Rangdröl may be translated as Self Liberation of Clinging meaning that fixation or clinging are inherently liberated by themselves into the nature of the mind. It is the core text of Do Khyentse’s extensive terma (treasure) cycle called the Yangsang Khandro Thug Tig (Exceedingly Secret Heart Essence of the Dakini). Within the cycle are all of the different types of practice that comprise the full Tibetan Buddhist path.
the Dzinpa Rangdröl (Self Liberation of Clinging) cycle of teachings that Machig Labdrön revealed to Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje (1800-1866). It was transmitted by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche to Gochen Sang-ngag Rinpoche who has been teaching it at Tara Mandala since 2008. It is an extremely unique lineage because it combines the teachings of Machig Labdrön with the Dzogchen (Great Perfection) teachings. For example, this cycle contains two deities connected to Chöd, the White Dakini and Tröma, and three Chöd practices as well as the Trekchö and Tögal teachings that are unique to Dzogchen
