THE TRADITION OF ATIYOgA and our story
The tradition of great perfection Atiyoga, ‘utmost yoga’ is an ancient Indo-Tibetan Buddhist meditative practice which aims at revealing the ultimate, natural state of awareness and reality. It is believed that most of the sorrows and troubles in our lives arise from and are aggravated due to ignorance and deviation from this state. Recognition of it known as 'rigpa' 'awareness' is believed to lead towards lasting freedom, peace and joy. It is taught that master Padmashambhava introduced the tradition in Tibet and Himalayas in the 8th century. In the 19th century, Dudjom Lingpa (1835-1904) received the teachings and passed them down to his disciples including Pema Debyi Gyalbo aka Degyal Rinpoche (1873-1933). It was then passed down to one of his principle disciples Golok Serta Rinpoche from whom it was passed to our lineage teachers in West Nepal and beyond.
