Ngakma Nor’dzin and Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin
Saturday 6th May – Vajrayana teaching entitled ‘Untying Knots’.
Through the three root misconceptions of attraction, aversion and indifference patterning is created. Patterning locks us into the cycle of karmic response, moment by moment, life after life. When a sense of dissatisfaction arises through noticing the self-defeating nature of these cycles, we are instantaneously at the base of practice. Learn how to untie the knots of patterning to make response more open and free, liberating basic goodness and joy. In the Aro gTér Lineage the sutric teachings are found in the Ulukha-mukha Sutra – the Songs of the Owl-faced Dakini. Ngakma Nor’dzin and Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin will explore some of the core teachings with reference to Dzogchen view.
Full details for this event, and for June and July, are on the website (please click on links above).
Details of the September day of teachings with the Aro gTér Lineage Holders, Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen to follow.
10:00 – 16:00, please bring a packed lunch. £25 donation requested

Please join us for all sessions, a single session, or any combination that suits you.
£35 donation requested if attending all sessions Saturday and Sunday (£5 discount). All welcome.
Aro Ling Cardiff meets at 5 Court Close, Whitchurch, Cardiff, CF14 1JR. The practice room is on the ground floor with
direct access from the street, and is wheelchair accessible.
Meditation group – beginners and experienced meditators welcome. Short periods of meditation are interspersed with yogic song and chant. Discover emptiness and self-awareness. For more information about meditation in the Aro gTér Nyingma tradition, please view the information page on MeetUp.
The 10:00 session on the Sunday of the first weekend of the month follows the same format.
Jong Dar is a term that covers all the physical practices of the Aro Tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism. Each class is 1 hour. The session includes Ying’khor, sKu-mNyé, walking meditation, and standing meditation. The 25 Ying ’khor exercises involve subtle movement in a standing position. Some include visualisation of coloured light energy synchronised with the breath. A few involve sound as vocalised syllables. sKu-mNyé (the ‘s’ is silent) in the Aro tradition is a system of 111 repetitive physical exercises which massage the spatial nerves of the subtle, energetic body – giving rise to extraordinary sensations. In these unusual sensations it is possible to find the presence of non-dual awareness—rigpa—momentary enlightenment. It offers a range of movements, from simple and gentle to demanding and vigorous – so there is something for everyone. All are welcome whatever age or level of fitness. A wonderful form of exercise that is refreshing and invigorating.
The charity of the Aro gTér Lineage in the UK is called ‘Sang-ngak-chö-dzong’ (UK charity number 1019886). This was the name given by Kyabjé Düd’jom Rinpoche. There are also other European charities connected with the Lineage, plus Aro Gar in the USA. Currently we are fund-raising to establish a residential retreat centre in Wales, which will be called ‘Drala Jong’. For information about this appeal, please see http://arobuddhism.org/drala-jong/drala-jong-appeal.html or go to the Drala Jong appeal blog.
Extracts from Aro gTér Lineage publications appear once a week on a blog called Aro Quotation. If you would like to receive the Aro Quotations by email, please go to the blog and subscribe.
The Aro gTer Lineage also offers a free meditation course. The course is delivered in weekly emails.
