: Rigpa Shedra: Wiki

zhi ba'i snying po (ཞི་བའི་སྙིང་པོ) (Tibetan; Sanskrit: zhi ba'i snying po) is associated with Möpa Drakngak—one of the deities of the Kagyé cycle (the “eight great sadhana teachings�).—[Cf. Vajradharma, “keeper of secrets”]—When each one of the great Vajra masters who had gathered at Deché Tsekpa (Śaṅkarakūṭa) had received their particular chest, they opened them and extracted their respective teachings. However none of them were able to open the final casket containing the eight sectioned Kagyé Deshek Düpa, so for seven days the Vajra masters [e.g., zhi ba'i snying po] became absorbed together in meditative equipoise, and prayed single-pointedly to the dakinis to assist them. As a result, after the seven days had elapsed, the seal of the last casket sprang free and it opened of its own accord. This is how they were able to extract the teachings of Kagyé Deshek Düpa.
