Rigdzin Düpa, 'The Gathering of Vidyadharas,' is the inner lama practice from the Longchen Nyingtik, the terma revelation of Jikmé Lingpa.
At the centre of the mandala is Guru Rinpoche in union with Mandarava. Above his head is Garab Dorje and Samantabhadra. He is surrounded by the eight vidyadharas who are in essence the eight deities of Kagyé:
East - Humkara - Yangdak Heruka
South - Manjushrimitra - Yamantaka
West - Nagarjuna - Hayagriva
North - Prabhahasti - Vajrakilaya
South-east - Dhanasamskrita - Mamo Bötong
South-west - Vimalamitra - Düdtsi Yönten
North-west- Rombhuguhya - Jikten Chötö
North-east - Shantigarbha - Möpa Drakngak
They are all surrounded by all the vidyadharas of India and Tibet and the twenty-five disciples and yidam deities, dakas, dakinis and dharma protectors.
