Zhitro: The Calm and Fierce Dieties of Our Being

In life and in death, we rely on these embodiments of awakening. This is one of the core teachings of the Nyingthig Traditions in Tibet, and Adzom Paylo Rinpoche, based on his heart-felt visionary encounter with Mahasiddha Karma Lingpa compiled this practice, which he calls “The Infinite Ritual of the Calm and Fierce, the Actual Three Buddha Dimensions (kāya). “ This practice is also for helping the deceased after  their passing. Powerful blessings from our root teacher accompany every syllable.
