===Shambhala Terma===
Certain Shambhala practices derive from specific terma texts of Trungpa Rinpoche's such as ''Letter of the Black Ashe'', ''Letter of the Golden Key that Fulfills Desire'', ''Golden Sun of the Great East'', and the ''Scorpion Seal of the Golden Sun'', in long and short versions. Trungpa Rinpoche is believed by his students to have received these teachings directly from [[Gesar of Ling]], an emanation of [[Padmasambhava]], and the [[Kings of Shambhala|Rigden]] kings.<ref>Mukpo, p. 223</ref> Their terma status was endorsed by the Nyingma teacher [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]].

The Shambhala dharma practices derived entirely or in part from these texts include those of ''[[werma]]'', ''[[Shambhala Training#The Four Dignities.2C Drala and the Lhasang ritual|drala]]'', ''[[Wind Horse]]'' (Tib. ''lungta''), and meditations on four "dignities of Shambhala": tiger (Tib. ''tak''), lion (Tib. ''seng''), garuda (Tib. ''kyung'') and dragon (Tib. ''druk''). [[Jamgon Ju Mipham Gyatso]], a 19th-century Nyingma lama after whom [[Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche]] took his name, wrote about many of these practices and concepts as well. Some, such as the "stroke of Ashé", have no known precedents.
