About the lineage
A Rimé transmission lineage
Our lineage comes through Daniel P. Brown, who received teachings from masters of three Tibetan traditions: Gelug, Bön and Nyingma. This open, non-sectarian approach is known as Rimé. Its Gelug roots trace back through Geshe Wangyal and Agvan Dorjiev to the circle of the 13th Dalai Lama.

Daniel P. Brown
Dan Brown was a clinical psychologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and a lifelong meditation practitioner and scholar who read Tibetan and Sanskrit. Over several decades he received transmission from teachers in the Gelug, Bön and Nyingma traditions.
His book Pointing Out the Great Way: The Stages of Meditation in the Mahamudra Tradition (2006) maps the path from first concentration practice through to awakening, drawing on classical Tibetan meditation texts. He founded the Pointing Out the Way community to teach Mahamudra and Dzogchen in a clear, step-by-step way for modern practitioners, and taught Dzogchen together with Rahob Tulku.
Our teacher continues this work, and the practice we do in Bogotá follows the same approach.
