Yogic Song and Silent Sitting from the Aro Tradition

The Aro gTér lineage is a rare strand of the Nyimgma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism—a lineage emanating from Yeshé Tsogyel, the female Tantric Buddha, through a succession of enlightened women culminating in the visionary genius of Khyungchen Aro Lingma. The Aro gTér is a non-liturgical, non-monastic, non-celibate yogic tradition which specializes in the teaching and practices of Dzogchen. It emphasizes the importance of the integration of everyday life as practice. Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen are the current holders of the Aro gTér lineage.
