Unification of All the Precious Ones
Within the Tibetan Buddhist teachings The Konchok (or Konchog) Chidu is a revealed treasure(terma) of the Jangter (Wylie: Byang gTer, Northern Treatures) revealed by Rigdzin Godem. It features the prominent sub-cycle, the Konchok Chidu revealed by the terton Jatson Nyingpo and widely practiced in Kagyu lineages as well.
The Konchok Chidu, or “Gathering of All Precious Jewels”, is a Guru Yoga practice which involves four aspects of Padmasambhava’s activities, and encompasses all Three Roots: the Lama (teacher), the Yidam (meditational deity), and the Kandro (or consort) in the forms of Tsokye Dorje, Guru Drakpo, and Senge Dongma Singhamukha, respectively.
Removing harmful influences, generating positive circumstances for the environment and all beings, increasing virtue, and clearing away ignorance are among the beneficial attributes of this extraordinary practice. Among some of the more tangible benefits of this practise are that If the mantra is recited a hundred times a day without interruption one will become attractive to others and will effortlessly come by food, wealth and the necessities of life.
It essentially consists of tantric practise focused on Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). Both the peaceful and wrathfully forms are practised, making this an unusual practise until the termas of the 19th century which began to be all inclusive spiritual practise stat combine these two facets in one.
It is common to include the practise of the Lion-faced Dakini as a protection and purification practise in the long cycle of this tantra. Its extensive use of mudras (ritual hand gestures), mantras and tormas which are generally easy to master make this a much beloved practise.
There has been a small renaissance of this practise in the Rime Tradition (non-sectarian movement founded by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye.
Notable exponenents of the Konchok Chidu are HE Beru Khyentse Rinpoche, Dupsing Rinpoche, and Kenchen Thrangu
