Guhyagarbha tantra

Guhyagarbha Tantra
Tibetan name
Tibetan རྒྱུད་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་རྒྱལ་པོ་དཔལ་སྒྱུ་འཕྲུལ་རྩ་བའི་རྒྱུད་གསང་བ་སྙིང་པོ།

The Guhyagarbha Tantra (The Tantra of the Secret Quintessence) is the main tantra of the Mahayoga class and the primary Tantric text studied in the Nyingma tradition as a key to understanding empowerment, samaya, mantras, mandalas and other Vajrayana topics.

Traditionally higher tantras require an empowerment and transmission from a qualified guru or lama before they can be studied and practiced, and were therefore not usually discussed publicly.

Prahevajra (Garab Dorje) received the empowerment and transmission of the Mahayoga teachings of the Secret Matrix Tradition (Guhyagarbha tantra) from Mahasiddha Kukuraja.[1]
