Padma Gyalpo Terma
Terma (hidden treasure) are key Tibetan Buddhist teachings, which the tradition holds were originally hidden by various adepts such as Padmasambhava and his consorts in the 8th century for future discovery at auspicious times by other adepts, known as tertons. Rinpoche is known for having revealed various such hidden teachings, in full respect with the tradition of continuing revelation in Buddhism by tertons. These works have partially been translated to english for the benefit of countless beings. H.E. Togden Rinpoche revealed and transcribed the Exceedingly Profound Ati-Yoga Mind Terma Practice of Padma Gyalpo, Guru Padmasambhava in the form of The Lotus King, accompanied by the Four Dakinis.

Memories and terma letters floated in his mind and vision, and Rinpoche revealed and transcribed the exceedingly profound ati-yoga mind terma practice of Padma Gyalpo – Guru Padmasambhava in the form of “The Lotus King”. Though he could reveal many other termas, Rinpoche did not do so. He felt that “The Lotus King Terma” was particularly appropriate and beneficial for modern people.
