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.)

Event is hosted by The Middle Way Initiative. Please join us on March 25th at 1pm Mountain Time for our first Open Question Live Conversation for 2023, How We Live Is How We Die with Pema Chödrön. Program is in English with Portuguese simulcast translation.
We look forward to a conversation with Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel and Pema Chödrön as they discuss existence and extinction, and the notion of self in the Buddha’s Middle Way tradition. What does that statement mean to her? How do we integrate a better understanding of the relationship between life and death in our own practice? We hope to hear from Pema about her new book entitled, How We Live is How We Die.
We encourage you to register early because space is limited for this event and tickets may sell out.
