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.
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.
We have two main study and practice centers in America: Phuntsok Choling in Colorado and Pema Osel in Vermont. Rinpoche teaches the core MSB programs at these two centers. In addition, MSB has several city centers or groups around the world where people gather for group meditation and study, and to listen to the LINK teachings together.
Browse to any of the calendars to find out more about the teaching schedules of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, Dungse Jampal Norbu, or Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel. View the upcoming events at Phuntsok Choling, Pema Osel, or find out who is giving the next LINK talk.
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.)

Teacher: Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
MSB Brazil’s Guna Norling center is pleased to announce the 2021 Shedra teachings by Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, which will take place online from March 20-21.
Rinpoche will continue teaching from The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life by Shantideva, an eighth century text that remains one of the most illustrious and renowned Mahayana classics.
This year’s topic is the Meditation Chapter, which contains instructions on how to create the appropriate environment for meditation and an extensive description of the meditation itself. These teachings are a real treasure that will bring great benefit to everyone who has the opportunity to hear them.
“No text has had a greater influence on the minds of the teachers of India and Tibet than The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life. It has no equal in its ability to transform the minds of beings.” –Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
A Shedra is a traditional monastic college of higher learning, with a course of study lasting from ten to thirteen years. Unlike most general dharma programs, MSB’s Shedra program presents the teachings in much greater depth, using traditional textual structure, terminology, and logic.
We invite the entire Buddhist community in Brazil and beyond to participate!

O Centro Budista Guna Norling – MSB Brasil tem a alegria em anunciar os ensinamentos do programa Shedra 2021, com Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, que acontecerá online com tradução para o portugues nos dias 20 e 21 de março.
Rinpoche dará continuidade aos ensinamentos de “O Caminho do Bodhisattva” (Bodhicaryavatara) de Shantideva, um texto do século VIII que permanece um dos mais ilustres e renomados clássicos do Mahayana.
Este ano, Rinpoche ensinará o Capítulo 8 sobre Meditação, que contém instruções sobre como criar o ambiente apropriado para a meditação e uma extensa descrição da meditação em si. Esses ensinamentos são um verdadeiro tesouro que trará grandes benefícios a todos que tiverem a oportunidade de ouvi-los.
“Nenhum texto teve maior influência nas mentes dos professores da Índia e do Tibete do que O Caminho do Bodhisattva. Não há outro igual em sua capacidade de transformar as mentes dos seres”. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
O Shedra é uma faculdade monástica tradicional de ensino superior, com um curso que dura de dez a treze anos. Ao contrário da maioria dos programas gerais de dharma, o programa Shedra do MSB apresenta os ensinamentos com muito mais profundidade, usando estrutura textual tradicional, terminologia e lógica. A prática do debate junto com perguntas e respostas é empregada para aprimorar o conhecimento dos alunos.
Convidamos toda comunidade budista do Brasil e de outros países para participar!
