Mangala Sutra - Part One

Mangala Sutra - Part One

Author: Yeshe Rabgye July 8, 2022 Duration: 15:41
For centuries people have been indulging in superstitions, lucky charms, omens, divinations, and fortune-telling. They have used these things to help them make decisions and keep them from taking responsibility for their own actions. Buddha called all of these practices ‘low art’, and on many occasions he stated that such things are of no use as we have to take responsibility for our own lives. This point was made very clear in the Mangala Sutra. In this discourse, Buddha was asked what the most auspicious omens were, and which ones should be followed. He didn’t directly answer the question, but instead gave guidelines of how we can make our own lives auspicious without relying on outside omens. He spoke about thirty-eight principles that, if lived by, would bring us true protection.

Yeshe Rabgye, a Buddhist monk from England, hosts the Buddhism Guide podcast, offering a grounded and accessible entry point into Buddhist thought. His approach is distinctly pragmatic and secular, stripping away cultural ornamentation to focus on the practical utility of these ancient principles for modern life. In each episode, Yeshe translates complicated philosophies into clear, relatable language, demystifying concepts around meditation, mindfulness, and mental well-being. What defines this podcast is its tone of invitation rather than instruction. Yeshe doesn't ask for blind acceptance; instead, he encourages a personal and curious examination of one's own mind and daily experiences. This stems from his work teaching across the globe, where he offers these insights freely to all. Listening feels like a direct conversation, unpretentious and focused on real-world application. Whether exploring the nuances of awareness or discussing the mechanics of suffering and contentment, the Buddhism Guide provides thoughtful companionship for anyone looking to cultivate a deeper sense of clarity and peace, regardless of their background or belief system.
