Long Life Practice and Chulen of Guru Amitayus
The long life practice discovered as a terma by Nyagla Pema Dündul is called Tsedrub gongdü (tshe sgrub dgongs ’dus). Tsedrub means long life practice, gongdü is universal union. This practice is considered very important, and when we read the original text we can understand why: “This is the essential long life practice of Guru Padmasambhava, who received the empowerment from Buddha Amitayus and attained the power of long life through the empowerment of Chandali, the yum of Buddha Amitayus. Guru Padmasambhava and his consort Mandarava practiced together in the cave of Maratika in Nepal and attained immortality.”
