Treasury of the Expansive Space of Dharmata

Post by makewhisper »

Hello friends,

Can anyone tell me about this collection? I received lung for the Tara practice, Eightfold Heart Essence of Profundity, following Green Tara empowerment and I’m curious which class of tantra this practice is from (already emailed my teacher about this, but my email might have gotten lost in the crowd).

Blessings of Dharma,

Eric

"Whilst lacking pure renunciation there is no way to pacify
The continual thirst for pleasure in the ocean of saṃsāra,
And since all living beings are bound by their craving for existence,
You must begin by finding the determination to be free."

There is a very good book about that cycle: The Tara Compendium

There are several empowerments and several sadhanas in that cycle. The outer sadhana that is considered kriya yoga is very loved among practioners and widespread in several different lineages.

I believe the text was composed by Dudjom Lingpa. Here is the Tibetan title:

I did a little poking around and I see that a text of that title is available here:

Did you get the empowerment from someone connected with Katog Choling?
