GraduatesLingdro: The Sacred Dance of King Gesar
Lingdro (Lingdro Dechen Rolmo) is a sacred Vajrayana dance tradition rooted in the epic of King Gesar of Ling. More than a cultural performance, Lingdro is a profound spiritual practice—a skillful means to embody the Dharma, purify obscurations, and move toward awakening through movement, rhythm, and devotion.
Lingdro expresses the epic of King Gesar as a sacred dance, serving as a path of Dharma practice.
