Living in mainstream society

Buddhism, as commonly encountered, is monastically based – and thus not naturally aligned to contemporary culture.

There is a growing need therefore, to establish a venue for receiving instruction that supports living within mainstream society.

To this end, the Aro gTér lineage draws on the history of the 84 Tantric Adepts: amongst whom was an entrepreneur, merchant, farmer, cattle drover, fisherman, weaver, restaurateur, raconteur, launderer, dancer, poet, musician, athlete, refuse collector, king, and soldier; people from every walk of society – and each one achieved the highest accomplishment.
