Report July 2022

This month we published one new translation and made several improvements to the website.

We’ve published a new translation of the fulfilment practice for the Natural Liberation of Suffering (Dukngal Rangdrol) composed by the First Dodrupchen, Jigme Trinle Özer: Confession and Fulfilment for the Great Compassionate One.

We published a detailed blog post that outlines the history and texts of The Sealed Quintessence (Tikle Gyachen). We searched through many of the biographies of the lives of the Longchen Nyingtik masters and present to you their experiences that arose from engaging with this innermost guru practice. This is followed by a brief description of the different texts of the cycle; when and by whom they were composed, and a complete overview of all the texts of this cycle.

We also made some major improvements to the website by adding pages dedicated to both Rigdzin Düpa and Dukngal Rangdrol. Both pages include stories of their revelation and descriptions of their practice texts and commentaries.

What’s next?

After a short break this summer we have many exciting plans in store for this autumn and winter:

• We will continue with several new translations, mainly for the Tikle Gyachen and Dukngal Rangdrol cycles.

• We will continue to improve the website by adding sections for each of the Longchen Nyingtik sadhanas.

• We will start producing practice books, beginning with Rigdzin Düpa, in which all texts are conveniently arranged for practice!

• We also continue our translation of the massive Ratik commentary on Yumka Dechen Gyalmo.
