The Aro gTér is claimed by it's adherents to be a lineage within the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. It is purportedly derived from a 'pure vision' terma on which it is based teaches all Buddhist topics from point of view of Dzogchen. Unlike all other extant Tibetan Vajrayana termas, the Aro gTer was 'received' relatively recently by a Westerner, Ngakpa Chögyam, and no original source materials in Tibetan have been made available to date. It is a ngagpa or non-monastic lineage and so emphasizes householder practice and non-celibate ordination. All of its contemporary teachers are ethnically non-Tibetan. ==History == The contemporary Aro gTér organization was founded in the 1980s by Ngakpa Chögyam, also known as 'Ngak'chang Rinpoche'. He was born in Hanover, Germany in 1952 and grew up in England. His father was English and his mother German; he is distantly related to the composer Franz Schubert. From the early 1970s through 1989 he studied Buddhism in between periods of working as a manual laborer, factory worker, and a truck driver in Britain to subsidize his education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://aro-books-worldwide.org/shared/text/b/biography_ph_01_ncr_01_eng.php )〕 According to a terma which Ngakpa Chögyam received in visions, the Aro tradition has antecedents in a 'Mother Essence Lineage' of female tertöns stretching back to Yeshe Tsogyal, and forward to Kyungchen Aro Lingma (1886-1923). According to the Aro gTér, Kyunchen Aro Lingma first discovered the terma. Aro Lingma is said to have transmitted the lineage to her only son, named Aro Yeshe (1915-1951). There is however no reference to a Kyunchen Aro Lingma in any canonical sources within the Nyingma or any other Tibetanm Buddhist Lineages Ngakpa Chögyam was allegedly recognized as the tulku of Aro Yeshe by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and as the incarnation of Aro Yeshe's predecessor, 'a-Shul Pema Legden, by Khordong gTerchen Tulku Chhi'med Rig'dzin Rinpoche. In the 1970s, Ngakpa Chögyam studied with Chhi'med Rig'dzin Rinpoche, Dudjom Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Kunzang Dorje Rinpoche, and Khamtrül Yeshé Dorje Rinpoche He has written of his experiences of these times in his 2011 book Wisdom Eccentrics. The lineage's primary legal organization, given the name Sang-ngak-chö-dzong by Dudjom Rinpoche, is located in Britain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aro gTér」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
