Transcript
Ngakpa 'ö-Dzin: I would like to talk a little bit about the Aro gTer
Lineage and where it comes from. In terms of its style and approach it
is part of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. In terms of its
particular qualities, the word ‘gTerma’ means ‘hidden treasure’, and in
this case a hidden teaching.
So these were teachings that were hidden by Padmasambhava and Yeshé Tsogyel for discovery at a later time when the teachings would be most effective and most appropriate to be put into action.
The Aro gTer is described as ‘a very small gTerma’ in terms of the number of teachings and practices that exist within it, although it actually seems quite huge in terms of what kind of capacity of person it would take to be able to encompass it all. So these teachings were discovered by Khyungchen Aro Lingma at the beginning of the twentieth century, and passed on to her son Aro Yeshé, who later reincarnated as Ngak'chang Rinpoche.
