The Prayer of Kuntuzangpo explains how to restrengthen our goodness qualities of bodhichitta and non-grasping, and how to see everything as the display of the original nature. This is the essence teaching of the Buddha, which was repeated by Guru Padmasambhava and continually carried by so many great practitioners. This practice and aspiration prayer is an esoteric teaching in the form of a prayer and aspiration. For centuries the voices of the hermitage yogis and yoginis reciting this prayer have echoed throughout the valleys and mountains of Tibet and the Himalayas. For generations, it has been used by all Nyingma practitioners.

Sherik Dorje Nӧnpo Gyü (Tib. ཤེས་རིག་རྡོ་རྗེ་རྣོན་པོའི་རྒྱུད་, shes rig rdo rje rnon po’i rgyud), The Sharp Vajra of Conscious Awareness Tantra, is one of the five Dzongchen tantra termas revealed by Dudjom Lingpa through a pure vision.

 

Being part of the Daknang Yeshe Drawa cycle, the Sherik Dorje Nӧnpo Gyü’s full name is “The Sharp Vajra of Awareness Tantra, from the Matrix of Pure Appearances and Primordial Consciousness, the Quintessence of the Great Mystery of the Mantrayana, The Primordially Pure Absolute Space of Samanthabadri, the Spontaneously Actualized Treasury of Liberation.”

 

This extraordinary tantra recounts how Dudjom Lingpa experienced Kuntuzangpo directly in a vision, giving teachings and answering questions to his own emanation’s retinue of bodhisattvas.
