Manjushri Namasamgiti

with Dr. Khenpo Yeshi Rinpoche

August 14-16, 2026 / Austin Ratna Shri

We warmly invite you to join us for a profound weekend retreat in the practice of Manjushri Namasamgiti, the sacred mantra and praise of the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri, embodying the awakening of transcendent insight.

This retreat will be guided by Khenpo Yeshi Rinpoche, offering mainly precious teachings, with a little sadhana practice.

Manjushri Namasamgiti, its title means "Chanting (or Recitation) of the Names of Mañjuśrī." Rather than being simply a list of names, it presents hundreds of epithets that describe the enlightened qualities of Mañjuśrī, the bodhisattva who embodies transcendent wisdom.

What is the text about?

The Nāmasaṃgīti is a poetic hymn in which enlightened beings praise Mañjuśrī as the embodiment of ultimate reality and wisdom. The text identifies Mañjuśrī not only as a bodhisattva but also as:

The personification of perfect wisdom (prajñā)
The unity of wisdom and compassion
The embodiment of all Buddhas
The non-dual nature of reality
The awakened mind beyond conceptual thinking

May the wisdom of Manjushri illuminate all beings, dispelling confusion and awakening the clarity of mind.
