		The Tertons are Revealers of the Hidden Spiritual Treasures of Padmasambhava, mystically sealed (through his Enlightened Mind-Mandate) to be Discover [sic] at future times.
		The Tertons (Incarnations of the twenty-five Disciples of Padmasambhava) are predicted to appear at various times to reveal Teachings, and these Great Lamas are the living fire of the Nyingma School.
		Kyabje Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche (the Incarnation of one of the twenty-five disciples, called Kye-chung Lotsa) is one of the few major living Tertons; and has (in his present life as Terchen Zilngon Lingpa) discovered many powerful and extraordinary Ter.

	Nyingma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although there have been a few Kagyupa "tertons" (treasure revealers) and the practice is common in Bön as well, the vast majority of Tibetan Buddhist tertons have been Nyingmapas.
		The foremost revealers of these termas were the five terton kings and the eight Lingpas.
		Tertons of outstanding importance were Nyangral Nyima Oser (1124–1192), Guru Chowang (1212–1270), Rigdzin Godem (1307–1408), Pema Lingpa (1450–1521), Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892) and Orgyen Chokyur Lingpa (1829–1870).

		Therefore, to judge an authentic Terton is a grave mistake.

		In particular there are false texts that look like Terma script, and which are by false Tertons [the discoverers of Terma], the rebirths of wrongly aspiring evil ministers of the ancient time who have the support of certain demonic spirits as the protectors of these Termas.
		The first is to receive clarification of the authenticity of the Terton from a divinity such as one of the Three Roots...
		It also depends on whether the Tertons could meet their consorts under proper circumstances, whether they were able to follow the instructions left behind by Guru Rinpoche for them, whether the doctrine- holder could practice the teachings as explained in the discovered text, and so on.

		One cannot judge Tertons as inauthentic because of their imperfect and mercurial character, even to the slightest extent.
		At the same time, among the authentic Tertons there are many who are loose in speech and behaviour and who, without the least hesitation, get involved in many activities that people will condemn.
		Likewise, there are Tertons who are unable to discover their Treasures and who have inauspicious retinues.

		This insight must then be practised by the terton until it is clear - to reveal the teaching before it is clear can destroy it.
		The terton inevitably realises the original insight embodied in the teaching; that is to say, the terton realises dzog-rim (completion-stage).
		The idea is that the teaching that is recovered is completely uncorrupted, since it was buried beyond the reach of karma, and since the realisation involved neccessarily incorporates the insight that time is imaginary.
