Dudjom Lingpa (1835-1904)^[1] was a great 'meditation' master, visionary and terton of the Nyingma tradition of 'Mantrayana' and a Dzogchen master of the modern era of principal importance, particularly in the area of 'refining perception' or Nang Jang.^[2] Through dream yoga, trance and 'visionary experiences' (Wylie: dag-snang) Dudjom Lingpa received 'direct transmissions' (Wylie: nye-brgyud) of the 'mindstream' or 'heart-mind transmission/continuum' (Wylie: thugs-brgyud) of a number of 'lineague holder(s)' (Wylie: rig-dzin) and 'buddha(s)' (Wylie: sang-gyay) such as Sri Singha, Saraha, Vajradhara and Manjushri, amongst others.^[3]

Dudjom Tersar

Dudjom Tersar is the collective name for the large collection of terma teachings revealed by Dudjom Lingpa and Dudjom Rinpoche.^[4] As a class of texts, Tersar (Wylie: gTer gSar) means 'new or recently revealed treasure teachings'. Dudjom Rinpoche was a major terton (Wylie: gTer sTon) or treasure revealer of hidden teachings.

The following quote links Dudjom Tersar with the Three Roots, yidam, deity yoga, Padmasambhava, Sariputra, Saraha, Sakyamuni Buddha and Yeshé Tsogyel:

The Dudjom Tersar is a powerful and complete cycle of tantric transmissions deriving from Dudjom Lingpa and his reincarnation Dudjom Yeshe Dorje (1904-1987). It focuses on Three Roots (guru, tutelary deity, and goddess) deity yogas and associated primordial awareness yogas that derive from the teachings of Guru Padmasambhava of India and his close student, the Princess Yeshe Tsogyelma. Dudjom Lingpa and Dudjom Yeshe Dorje are no other than Guru Sakyamuni's own student Sariputra, and also the Great Adept / Mahasiddha Saraha.^[5]
