They are long term students and close disciples of Ngak’chang Rinpoche and Khandro Déchen – the holders of the Aro gTér Dzogchen lineage. Mé-tsal and Ja’gyür teach publicly and also run an apprenticeship programme with retreats and teachings for their personal students. They have students in Britain, mainland Europe and South America.

This podcast is an audio extract of 'Sit Down and Shut Up: introduction to Dzogchen meditation',which was originally aired live with video in 2020. The single most useful thing you will ever learn. A weekly 30 minute class introducing the practice of silent sitting. Right here, right now just might be the time to learn how to develop a meditation practice - the single most useful thing you will ever do for yourself and everyone around you. Through meditation practice we find our first real taste of freedom – freedom from conditioning. Meditation gets us back into the driver’s seat to live life – rather than having life live us. In the open space of clarity and compassion we find tremendous creative energy, spontaneity, and a zest for living.
