A tertön () is a discoverer of ancient texts or ''terma'' in Tibetan Buddhism. Many tertöns are considered incarnations of the 25 main disciples of Padmasambhava. A vast system of transmission lineages developed. Nyingma scriptures were updated by terma discoveries, and terma teachings have guided many Buddhist and Bon practitioners. ==Prominent tertöns== According to generally accepted history, the rediscovering of terma began with the first tertön, Sangye Lama (1000–1080). Tertöns of outstanding importance were Guru Chowang (1212–1270), Rigdzin Gödem (1307–1408), Dorje Lingpa (1346–1405), Ratna Lingpa (1403–1478), Pema Lingpa (1450–1521), Namchö Mingyur Dorje (1645–1667), and Jigme Lingpa (1729–1798), Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892) and Orgyen Chokgyur Lingpa (1829–1870). The "seal" of all tertöns is said to have been Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892). In one of his visions, he could clearly see all the terma that were hidden throughout Tibet and other countries. He was the only master in Tibetan history to have not only received, but also transmitted the "seven transmissions" (''bka' babs bdun''), that are the canonical teachings, treasures taken from the earth, reconcealed treasures, mind treasures, recollections, pure visions, and aural transmissions received in visions. (Ricard, undated). Throughout the centuries many more people were known as tertön. Five of them were widely recognized as very important ones and called the "five tertön kings:" # Nyangral Nyima Özer (1124–1192) # Guru Chökyi Wangchuk (1212–1270) # Dorje Lingpa (1346–1405) # Pema Lingpa (1445/50–1521) # Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892) Another noteworthy tertön is Tsangpa Gyare, founder of the Drukpa Lineage (12th century). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tertön」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
