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.)

Foundational Teachings

These selected essential topics  help to create a foundation for understanding and traveling the Three-Yana path of Tibetan Buddhism.

Tsewa: The Tender Heart of Enlightenment

We know when our heart is open and when it is closed. We’ve tasted the warmth and freedom of that open heart and suffered with tightness and coldness when it is not. In his book, Training in Tenderness: The Radical Openness of Heart that Can Change the World, Rinpoche introduces the notion of tsewa, a warmth and openness of heart that all sentient beings are capable of; in fact tsewa is naturally present at the core of our being. In this series of videos drawn from a conversation with Pema Chodron, Rinpoche delves deeply into the many dimensions of this simple insight. Watch.

Patience

Everyone can reap the benefits of having more patience. And that’s not just a maxim: there is a practical way to increase our patience through the Buddhist teachings. Read and watch more.

Shenpa: The Visceral Experience of Ego-Clinging

In Buddhism we speak a lot about the false belief in an ego or self and how clinging to that self creates suffering. Sometimes this notion of clinging to the self may seem abstract. What does it feel like when we cling to the self? It is important to be able to identify that experience. The raw, visceral experience of self-clinging and the suffering it produces is known as shenpa in Tibetan. Read and Watch more.

The Five Skandhas

We may have never asked ourselves, “what does our experience consist of?” An examination of the aspects of our experience, known in the Buddhist Abhidharma teachings as the Five Skandhas (or “heaps”) is central an understanding of selflessness.  Learn more.
