Tertön
Tertön is a term that refers to a specific type of spiritual practice or meditation in the context of Tibetan Buddhism. It is often associated with the discovery of hidden teachings or texts, known as terma, which are believed to be revealed by enlightened beings for the benefit of future generations. Practitioners of Tertön engage in rituals and meditative practices to connect with these teachings.
The role of a Tertön is crucial in this tradition, as they are individuals who uncover and interpret these hidden teachings. They often undergo rigorous training and possess a deep understanding of Buddhist philosophy. Tertöns play a significant role in preserving and transmitting the spiritual heritage of Tibetan Buddhism.
