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.

      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.)

Developing Good Heart

All conflict and war stem from one source

March 3, 2022

This talk is a lightly- edited version of Rinpoche’s 2022 Losar Address in the Sangdo Palri Temple at Longchen Jigme Samten Ling Retreat Center, Crestone, Colorado. As a deep mental fog manifests on an unimaginable scale in the world right now, Rinpoche encourages us in his Losar Address to make a strong resolution to deepen our

Universal Tender Heart and Universal Responsibility

August 15, 2017

As human beings we share in common our universal tender heart. Every move and response we make comes from our tender heart. This responsiveness has no beginning nor end; it is ongoing, from the time we wake up until the time we go to sleep. For short periods of time, when we are deep asleep,

The Basis of Happiness: Confronting the Authority Within

June 6, 2017

There’s no doubt that each of us wants to be happy; but happiness doesn’t come on demand. Not many people actually believe that “happiness is freedom from the suffering that our mind creates.” Even though we may want it, we won’t get this kind of happiness or peace on demand, by willing it or trying

Peace Talk: The Power of Supplication

May 1, 2017

In the last few years in the Middle East, hundreds of thousands of people have died, been injured, lost loved ones, and lost homes and livelihoods. Even if all American objectives were attained at a minimal cost, America will still have to suffer the repercussions of having increased the number of its enemies. And there

Cultivating Aspiration Bodhicitta: Part 1 – Generating Great Kindness

March 1, 2017

I would like to begin by first saying a few things about bodhicitta practice, the practice of developing a good heart. Bodhicitta is the practice of all buddhas of the past, the present, and the future, and it has two aspects. The first aspect, aspiration bodhicitta, is defined as a genuine wish to cultivate enlightenment

Finding Compassion Through Pain

December 15, 2016

When you hit the bottom of all your resources of trying to apply so many kinds of remedies to the pain, and all of them have failed, then there comes a sense of fearlessness. A fearlessness to directly engage with the pain in a very naked way. A courage to experience the pain as it

Developing Good Heart: Part 3-Avoiding Perfectionism, Not Defending Our Weaknesses

January 20, 2016

We must ask ourselves, “What is my weakness?” If it is attachment, then admit, “Yes, it’s attachment,” without defending that. If it’s aggression, then, yes, it’s aggression, and not defending one’s aggression. If it’s jealousy, then, yes, it’s jealousy, again not defending one’s jealousy. If it’s stupidity, yes, it’s stupidity without coming to the defense

Developing Good Heart: Part 2: Being Addicted to Emotions

December 18, 2015

When you say “Oh, I really don’t think this person would do something that negative; I trust this person,” what are you saying? Are you saying this person will always have just one particular stream of feelings and never change those feelings whatsoever? No. If that person had one stream of feelings all the time,

Developing Good Heart: Part One -Clarity versus Emotions

November 18, 2015

Everyone knows how important it is to establish a good heart. A good heart is the only thing that is truly worthy, not only of helping others, but also of sustaining oneself in a state of happiness, joy and contentment. Yet it often seems there is a conflict inwardly. Though people know the value of

Degenerate Age: Part 2 – Relationships and Trust

April 8, 2014

As we discussed in Part 1, our present culture is sometimes referred to as the “degenerate age.” But, this does not refer to a condemnation of beings or of modern society. Rather it describes a pervasive suffering within society that occurs when there is a loss of noble values. We can observe this in our
