Chöd & Tröma Nagmo
English · 中文 · Tiếng Việt
What is Chöd?
Chöd means cutting through fixation on the self. Its public teachings invite practitioners to cultivate compassion, generosity and insight into emptiness. It is a path of transforming self-clinging, rather than a performance with ritual instruments.
Prajñāpāramitā
The wisdom of Prajñāpāramitā is central to Chöd. Wisdom and compassion are cultivated together; an introduction on a website does not replace study and personal instruction.
Tröma Nagmo — Krodakali
Tröma Nagmo, called Đại Huệ Phật Mẫu in Vietnamese, is associated with the profound wisdom teachings of the Dudjom Tersar. Its practice requires the appropriate empowerment, transmission and instruction.
Lineage and empowerment
Dudjom Lingpa and Dudjom Rinpoche II are foundational masters of the Dudjom Tersar. Those wishing to receive empowerment should learn about bodhicitta, commitments and the conditions set by the teacher and organizers.
Chöd instruments
Damaru, bell, vajra and kangling belong to the tradition’s ritual setting. Their meaning and use must be learned from a qualified teacher; public articles do not provide a complete ritual manual.
