Tendrel Nyesel, which literally means “eliminating flaws in interdependent circumstances,” was revealed in 1900 by the great Tertön Sogyal, Lerab Lingpa (1856–1926), the predecessor of Sogyal Rinpoche. It is said that Tertön Sogyal felt more joy at the moment of revealing this terma than at any other time in his life.

At the end of the empowerment text composed by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche at the request of H.H. the 14th Dalaï Lama, he praises the Tendrel Nyesel by saying :

"This profound teaching, so pertinent in this age, is like a secret treasure of advice never known before, one that is easy to practise and simple to apply."

Tendrel Nyesel is said to be one of the most powerful practices for bringing peace and stability in the world. The brief sadhana (liturgy) of Tendrel Nyesel is the main daily Vajrayana practice upheld by the Rigpa community worldwide.

The timing of these teachings by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche is particularly meaningful as 2026 will mark the 100th anniversary of Tertön Sogyal’s parinirvana.

With global events hanging in the balance, this powerful practice is considered by many lamas to be particularly timely and of very great significance. There is an all-encompassing, universal quality to Tendrel Nyesel, both in the number of buddhas and deities whose blessing is invoked, and in its reach and effect throughout the universe in eliminating, preventing, protecting against and transforming harm and conflict.

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, also known as Khyentse Norbu and Thubten Chökyi Gyamtso, is a widely respected Buddhist scholar and teacher from the Rimé (nonsectarian) lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Also an acclaimed filmmaker and author of several books, Rinpoche is known for his modern, progressive, and sometimes provocative approach to teaching the dharma.

Khyentse Rinpoche is one of Rigpa’s Spiritual Advisers, together with Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche and Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche. He has given numerous teachings, transmissions and empowerments to the Rigpa sangha since the 1980s.
