Terma

What are Termas ( Tibetan )?

Termas ( sacred texts or objects ) are hidden by enlightened beings to be rediscovered at the appropriate time in the future by realised masters who have the necessary mystical vision and karma to find them. Sometimes the termas are hidden in such unlikely places as a lake, the sky or even a disciples mind. These hidden teachings manifest at unpredictable times and places when sentient beings are in need of their wisdom. As such, the discovery of a terma always creates a fresh opportunity for spiritual renewal.
