Dudjom Lingpa, born in 1835 in the Serta Valley of eastern Tibet, was a renowned Nyingma treasure revealer (terton) and Dzogchen master recognized as a reincarnation of Terton Dudul Dorje. From an early age, he experienced profound visionary encounters with deities, dakas, and dakinis, who guided him toward his destiny as a teacher and revealer of sacred texts. Despite a nomadic and challenging lifestyle, he uncovered several treasure cycles, including the widely practiced Dudjom Tersar lineage, and cultivated a family of influential spiritual heirs. Known for his unconventional and rugged persona, Dudjom Lingpa’s teachings bridged ancient Tibetan spiritual wisdom with a fresh, accessible approach, earning him lasting reverence among Tibetan Buddhist practitioners.
