The Aro gTér - Mé-tsal and Ja’gyür

The Aro gTér is a lineage within the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, which emphasizes the perspective of Atiyoga, or Dzogchen. For more information on the Aro gTér and its lineage holders, Ngak'chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen, go to www.arobuddhism.org

Ngakma Mé-tsal Wangmo and Naljorpa Ja’gyür Dorje are an ordained teaching couple within the Aro gTér Lineage of the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. They are long term students and close disciples of Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen – the holders of the Aro gTér Dzogchen lineage.

Mé-tsal and Ja’gyür teach publicly and also run an apprenticeship programme with retreats and teachings for their personal students. They have students in Britain, mainland Europe and South America. Their aim is to make the Vajrayana teachings from the Mahasiddha tradition available to all those interested in integrating the Buddhist teachings and thereby living cheerfully, creatively, and courageously – beyond convention and conditioning.

This podcast is an audio extract of 'Sit Down and Shut Up: introduction to Dzogchen meditation',which was originally aired live with video in 2020.

The single most useful thing you will ever learn. A weekly 30 minute class introducing the practice of silent sitting. Right here, right now just might be the time to learn how to develop a meditation practice - the single most useful thing you will ever do for yourself and everyone around you. Through meditation practice we find our first real taste of freedom – freedom from conditioning. Meditation gets us back into the driver’s seat to live life – rather than having life live us. In the open space of clarity and compassion we find tremendous creative energy, spontaneity, and a zest for living.
