FOREWORD
Chim Phakm Nyingtik is a very important treasure teaching from Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. It is one of my personal practices, and I do its short sadhana every day. It is a very precious teaching and a great blessing, and from my own experience even people who are terminally ill can survive through its practice.
Gyurme Avertin is an experienced Tibetan/French/English translator and an expert in the Chim Phakm Nyingtik practice. For the past twelve years, he has been translating sadhanas, explanatory texts and oral commentaries related to the subject. I am very pleased that he has composed this remarkable book, comprising a selection of works that encompass the very essence of this exceptional practice.
I pray that this excellent presentation of the Chim Phakm Nyingtik may be a source of inspiration and guidance to all students who undertake its practice in earnest and that it may lead them swiftly to complete liberation.
TRANSLATORS INTRODUCTION
The Heart Essence of the Sublime Lady of Immortality is one of the most famous and revered termas of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Thanks to its power and blessings, all his greatest students, such as Jamgn Kongtrul Lodr Taye and the 14th and 15th Karmapas, were able to remove obstacles to their long lives and activities. According to prophecy, had it not been for this practice, the life of Jamgn Kongtrul would have been fraught with obstacles and much shorter. More recently, it was the main practice of Jamyang Khyentse Chkyi Lodr, Dudjom Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Trulshik Rinpoche. It is also the heart practice of His Holiness Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche.
The Heart Essence of the Sublime Lady of Immortality or Chim Phakm Nyingtik is a Secret Mantra Vajrayana practice. As such, to benefit from this book and the practice, it is essential that you first receive the Chim Phakm Nyingtik empowerment. If you have yet to receive the empowerment and reading transmission, its best to keep this book on your shrine as an object of veneration until you receive them. The empowerment is a must, not an option. According to the
