Our Lineage

Bodhivastu’s activities primarily follow the Dudjom Tersar tradition from the Ancient Order of the Nyingma—established in Tibet by Padmasambhava—along with aligned treasure lineage transmissions and practices. Bodhivastu also honors the lineage of Rudi who founded the Big Indian Center as a meditation retreat sanctuary.
