Ngakpa Chogyam (Ngak'chang Rinpoche) and his consort Khandro Dechen reside in Wales with their two children and are holders of the Aro gTer. The Aro gTer lineage is a rare strand of the Nyimgma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism a lineage emanating from Yeshe Tsogyel, the female Tantric Buddha, through a succession of enlightened women culminating in the visionary genius of Khyungchen Aro Lingma. The Aro gTer 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.
