'''Tenshyuk''' ([[Wyl.]] ''brtan bzhugs'') literally 'stable remaining' is a [[long life practice]] which involves making offerings to a teacher and requesting him to remain long in this world for the benefit of beings. 

It can be quite a simple practice during which we offer representations of enlightened body, speech and mind (possibly with the addition of qualities and activity), for the sake of ''tendrel'', and request the teacher to remain by reciting prayers for his long life. When done elaborately, it can include a practice called ''khandröi [[sundok]]'', or ‘[[Turn back the summons of the ḍākinīs|turning back the summons of the dakinis]]’, during which offerings are made to the [[dakini]]s of the five families in order to dispel obstacles to the life of the master.
