May bodhicitta, precious and sublime, arise where it has not yet come to be. Where it has arisen may it never fail, but grow and flourish more and more.

      Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche

      Unbroken lineages of wisdom traditions are rare in these times, and Kongtrul Rinpoche descends from a pure lineage of the Dzogpa Chenpo Longchen Nyingtik tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

      About Mangala Shri Bhuti

      MSB is a part of the Longchen Nyingtik and Khyen-Kong-Chok-Sum lineages. (Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, and Terton Chokgyur Lingpa, collectively known as Khyen-Kong-Chok-Sum, were the heart of the Rimé, or nonsectarian, movement, which did so much to preserve and harmonize all schools of Tibetan Buddhism in the nineteenth century.)

Longchen Jigme Samten Ling

SangdoPalri

The Heart of Our Organization

Longchen Jigme Samten Ling, our long-term retreat center located in the spectacular foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Crestone, Colorado, is the jewel of our organization. The name means, “a meditation place of the fearless great expanse.” Samten Ling is home to The Sangdo Palri Temple of Wisdom and Compassion and the Tara Dzong.

The great 13th century master Longchen Rabjam said that nature provides a perfect support for resting in the mind of uncontrived naturalness which lies at the heart of the Buddhist Vajrayana tradition. The rugged beauty of this location, overlooking the vast expanse of the San Luis Valley, makes an ideal environment for retreat. What occurs here is, in Rinpoche’s words, “the very core of what we do.”

Longchen Jigme Samten Ling has been supporting retreat in our sangha since 1995. A dozen retreat cabins, each sponsored by an individual donor, and the 8 retreat rooms in our Tara Dzong Retreat Complex are occupied year-round by both long-term retreatants and a continuous rotation of students in 100-day or 30 day retreats. Rinpoche guides each individual at his or her own level, and there are three drubpons, or retreat masters, available to help clarify any instructions or otherwise support retreatants.

Life at Samten Ling

Samten Ling is a self-sufficient world, offering retreatants a balanced mix of solitude and support that facilitates their deep engagement with the practices of this path. Retreatants gather daily for work period and group Protector practice. Through the maturation of the practitioners on the land, and through the communication between them and Rinpoche, what has evolved at Samten Ling is a refined understanding of what works best to support Western practitioners in retreat. Our aspiration is for Samten Ling to be a fertile ground on which the essence of the Longchen Nyingtik lineage may ripen in many beings, now, and long into the future.
