“In the end, all teachings—traditional
or informal—have one aim: to help reduce self-importance and make room for the truth.”

Mangala Shri Bhuti is a non-profit organization under the direction of Venerable Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, whose mission is to establish the Longchen Nyingtik tradition of the Nyingma lineage in the West. As an organization, Mangala Shri Bhuti provides a container for the study, contemplation, and practice of the Buddhist teachings by hosting teaching programs and online courses, and through its centers in America, Asia, Europe, and Brazil. By engaging in a gradual path of study, practice, and service, students gain familiarity and make a personal connection to the Buddhist path and develop a vision for being of benefit to others.
