Gomchenma Künzang Rang-rig Long-tsal

Khyungchen Aro Lingma

Born on 2nd January, Gomchenma Künzang Rang-rig Long-tsal was the grand-niece of Jomo Chhi’mèd Pema. Aro Lingma requested that Gomchenma Künzang Rang-rig Long-tsal introduce the naljorpa and naljorma vows into the Aro gTér Tradition, and asked Ngak’chang A-kyong Dud-dul Dorje to introduce the ngakpa and ngakma vows. Aro Lingma esteemed both variants of the gö-kar-chang-lo as important methods of practice, and encouraged them equally. These gö-kar-chang-lo ordination lines go back to the time of Padmasambhava and Yeshé Tsogyel in Tibet.
