Chime Sok-Thig Drucho – The Essence of Immortality

CHIME SOK -THIG – The Essence of Immortality

Drucho Chime Sok Thig is a Longevity (Chime) practice belonging to the Dudjom Tersar Vajrayana treasury, revealed and transmitted by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, the great Vidyadhara of the Nyingma tradition. This practice is regarded as a quintessential longevity blessing, uniting the nectar of immortality, the accumulation of merit, and the empowerment of the lineage.

Within the Dudjom Tersar, longevity practices are not merely intended to extend physical life. Their true essence lies in protecting life force (srog), vital energy (la), and the very foundation of spiritual practice, thereby enabling practitioners to maintain favorable conditions to complete the path to enlightenment.

Drucho Chime Tsok Thig places special emphasis on:

• The Longevity Deity Tsepagme (Amitayus) in union with Guru Rinpoche

• Empowerment of the sacred nectar (Dutsi) and Tsok offering

• Guru Yoga as the central axis of the entire practice

According to the teachings of Dudjom Rinpoche, true longevity does not lie in prolonging worldly existence, but in extending the presence of the Dharma, merit, and wisdom within the continuum of mind.

For this reason, Drucho Chime Sok Thig is regarded as the longevity nectar of the Dudjom Tersar, carrying profound power for blessing, purification, and protection, benefiting both one’s life and the spiritual path.

The Chime Sok Thig Accomplishment Retreat (Drubchen) will take place from 7–13 March 2026 at Dundul Raptenling Monastery, Odisha, presided over by Sonam Tashi Rinpoche.
