Yumka Dechen Gyalmo

Yumka Dechen Gyalmo (Wyl. yum ka bde chen rgyal mo) — the peaceful dakini practice from 
the Longchen Nyingtik, the terma revelation of Jikmé Lingpa.




Tulku Thondup explains[1] that Yumka Dechen Gyalmo is a sadhana practice on Yeshe Tsogyal, the consort of Guru Rinpoche, as a wisdom dakini. It is one of the three roots practice of the Longchen Nyingtik together with Lama Rigdzin Düpa and Yidam Palchen Düpa.


In 1774 the omniscient Jikmé Lingpa visited the Tsogyal Lake. There, amid wondrous signs, he beheld the face of the Wisdom Dakini. He also received the symbolic scripts which he deciphered in order to produce the practice text.
Through this practice one understands the dakini Yeshe Tsogyal to be the embodiment of the three kayas.

Ultimately she is Samantabhadri in the vast sphere of dharmakaya
Internally she is Vajravarahi in the pure land of the sambhogakaya
Externally she is Yeshe Tsogyal in the world of the nirmanakaya.
