Jétsunma Khandro Yeshé Réma, also known as Kyungchen Aro Lingma, (1886–1923) was the discoverer of the Aro gTér, a cycle of pure vision revelation teachings. She received these teachings in visions on a journey to Southern Tibet with her sang-yab (male consort) Khalden Lingpa, who had given up his monk's vows to become her sang-yab. These visions were visions of Yeshé Tsogyel in which Rema realized the cycles of teachings and practice that her mother had predicted she would. She also received the name Kyungchen Aro Lingma from Yeshé Tsogyel.

She was the incarnation of Jomo Menmo. She lived in the Himalayas with her son Aro Yeshe and a community of practitioners that formed around them.

The Aro lineage (also called the Mother Essence lineage) is based on her teachings within the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
