Hymn to Jigme Lingpa

Jigme Lingpa, a revered terton, Mahasiddha, and scholar of the Nyingma lineage, was born in 1729 in Yarlung Valley of central Tibet. Deeply moved by Longchenpa’s writings, Jigme Lingpa discovered spiritual revelations from many sources as well as from the Dharmakaya mind, which became the basis of the Longchen Nyingthig lineage. Downloadable English translations of his revelatory sadhanas, some the most popular Dzogchen practices of the Nyingma lineage, are available on this page, such as The Dakini’s Laughter (Khandro Ghejang). Read more of the biography of Jigme Lingpa, extracted from Dharmata Lineage Masters.

In the Nyingma tradition, we chant inspiring Dohas or songs of realization. Many of them are full of quite positive narratives that open our hearts and uplift our spirits. There is a verse composed by Longchenpa: “Wherever I go, I’m always walking in the truth. Wherever I stay, I’m always residing in the truth.”
