In Tibetan Buddhism, a 'tertön' is someone who discovers a terma, or hidden text.
Guru Padmasambhava predicted that in the future hundreds of ''tertons'' will spread his teachings. Throughout the centuries many more people were known as ''tertons''.
Five of them were widely recognized as very important ones and called the ''five terton kings'':

★ Nyang Ral Nyima Özer (1124-1192)

★ Guru Chökyi Wangchuk (1212-1270)

★ Dorje Lingpa (1346-1405)

★ Pema Lingpa (1445/50-1521)

★ Padma Ösel Do-ngak Lingpa (Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo) (1820-1892)
Another noteworthy terton is Tsangpa Gyare, founder of the Drukpa Kagyu order.
