Terma Heritage Foundation
THE NAME AND THE SEAL

Why we are called Terma.

A treasure, kept for the future.
གཏེར་མ
terma

A treasure hidden for the future, and found when the time is right.

TERMA

What a terma is.

The one who finds a terma invents nothing.

They return what always belonged to everyone.

That is our work: find what matters, keep it open, hand it on.

THE SEAL

The seal.

At its heart, the terma mark, which scribes use to mark a text as treasure.

The outer ring: keeping.

The inner ring: passing on.

གཏེར་ཚེག
RIGNÉ

One word for knowledge and culture.

In Tibetan, རིག་གནས་ rigné names both.

To keep one is to keep the other.

Help carry it
forward.

Every font, every game, every song began with someone who believed it mattered.
