TEACHER’S INTRODUCTION

A Life in Service
of the Dharma

DA Manjughosh Bhantey is a fully ordained monk and a Master of the Dharma (Dharmacharya). He is one of the Vidyadhara’s principal attendants and is responsible for disseminating Dharma teachings and guiding new and old students in their meditation practice. Bhantey is the first ‘Sahayak Samthacharya’ of the Byomakusuma Sangha. He was awarded the title of SS by the Vidyadhara in 2002. In February 2016 Bhantey was bestowed with the title ‘Sahayak Dharmacharya’. Later in April 2022 Bhantey was bestowed with the title ‘Dharmacharya’.

Bhantey closely assists the Vidyadhara in his project to re-establish proper Buddhist view that once was accepted by seventy-five percent of the Indian Subcontinent for almost a thousand years and that gradually disappeared after the thirteenth century. Therefore, at the behest of the Vidyadhara, he has researched and learnt from various Hindu spiritual traditions to compare their teachings with the Vajrayana tradition and to discover if any tradition prevalent in the Indian Subcontinent today continues to propagate the Buddhist view and practices under a different name and lineage. In the course of this exploration, he has mastered Nada (inner sound), Prakash (inner light) and Atma (Self) in the secretive Avadhuti tradition of Shirdi Sai Baba, a very famous Indian saint and Bhante was fully authorized as a teacher of this tradition in 2010. However, he practices and teaches only Buddhism.

Additionally, he has received teachings from Vajracharya masters of Newari Buddhism. Vajracharya masters of the Valley have authenticated that Bhantey is fully qualified to impart all teachings and lungs that they themselves have received and practiced. In this capacity he was fully authorized by Vajracharya masters of Patan in 2008 and by those of Kathmandu in 2016. In addition, he has been authorized to provide ten precept Sramanera (novice monk) vows in the Thai Theravadi tradition, Tibetan tradition as well as Mahasangika lineage of Newari Buddhism. It is unique to have received authorization to grant these vows in three different traditions.

He is also a healer and is involved with the Sangha’s healing and wellbeing project. Specifically he is a Reiki master; he was awarded the Reiki Master certification in 2013. Additionally he learnt a special Buddhist healing method from a fully ordained monk of the Mahasi Sayadaw lineage in 1999. He gained full authorization to teach this and has actually taught this to Anagarika nuns in Kathmandu.

आचार्य मञ्जुघोष एक पूर्णतया नियुक्त भिक्षु र धर्मका गुरु (धर्माचार्य) हुन्। उहाँ विद्याधरका धर्म शिक्षाहरू फैलाउन र नयाँ र पुराना विद्यार्थीहरूलाई उनीहरूको ध्यान अभ्यासमा मार्गदर्शन गर्न जिम्मेवार हुनुहुन्छ। आचार्य ब्योमकुसुमा संघका प्रथम सहयोगी सम्थाचार्य’ हुन् । उनलाई विद्याधाराले २०५९ मा स. समथाचार्य उपाधिबाट सम्मानित गरेको थियो। सन् २०१६ को फेब्रुअरीमा भन्तेलाई ‘सहयोगी धर्माचार्य’ उपाधि प्रदान गरिएको थियो। पछि अप्रिल २०२२ मा भन्तेलाई ‘धर्माचार्य’ उपाधि प्रदान गरियो। भन्तेले आफ्नो परियोजनामा ​​विद्याधारालाई उचित बौद्ध दृष्टिकोणको पुनर्स्थापना गर्न सहयोग गर्छन् जुन एक पटक भारतीय उपमहाद्वीपको पचहत्तर प्रतिशतले लगभग एक हजार वर्षसम्म स्वीकार गरेको थियो र जुन तेह्रौं शताब्दी पछि बिस्तारै लोप भयो। त्यसैले विद्याधरको निर्देशनमा उनले विभिन्न हिन्दू आध्यात्मिक परम्पराहरूबाट उनीहरूको शिक्षालाई वज्रयान परम्परासँग तुलना गर्न र आज भारतीय उपमहाद्वीपमा प्रचलित कुनै परम्पराले फरक नाम र वंशमा बौद्ध दृष्टिकोण र अभ्यासहरू प्रचार गर्न जारी राखेको छ कि छैन भनेर पत्ता लगाउन खोजेका छन्। यस अन्वेषणको क्रममा, उनले शिर्डी साई बाबाको गोप्य अवधुती परम्परामा नाडा (आन्तरिक ध्वनि), प्रकाश (आन्तरिक प्रकाश) र आत्मा (आत्म) मा निपुणता हासिल गरेका छन्, एक धेरै प्रसिद्ध भारतीय संत र भन्तेलाई 2010 मा यस परम्पराको शिक्षकको रूपमा पूर्ण रूपमा अधिकृत गरिएको थियो। यद्यपि, उनले बुद्ध धर्म मात्र अभ्यास र सिकाउँछन्। यसबाहेक, उनले नेवारी बौद्ध धर्मका वज्राचार्य गुरुहरूबाट शिक्षा पाएका छन्। उपत्यकाका वज्राचार्य गुरुहरूले भन्ते आफैंले पाएका र अभ्यास गरेका सबै शिक्षा र फोक्सो दिनको लागि पूर्ण रूपमा योग्य भएको प्रमाणित गरेका छन्। यस हैसियतमा उनलाई सन् २००८ मा पाटनका वज्राचार्य गुरुहरू र २०१६ मा काठमाडौंका वज्राचार्य गुरुहरूले पूर्ण रूपमा अधिकार दिएका थिए। साथै, थाई थेरवादी परम्परा, तिब्बती परम्पराका साथै नेवारी बौद्ध धर्मको महासांगिक वंशका दस उपदेश श्रमनेरा (नव भिक्षु) प्रतिज्ञाहरू प्रदान गर्न पनि उहाँलाई अधिकार दिइएको छ। तीन फरक परम्परामा यी भाकलहरू प्रदान गर्ने अधिकार प्राप्त गर्नु अद्वितीय छ। उहाँ एक निको पार्ने व्यक्ति पनि हुनुहुन्छ र संघको उपचार र कल्याण परियोजनामा ​​संलग्न हुनुहुन्छ। विशेष गरी उहाँ रेकी मास्टर हुनुहुन्छ; उनले २०१३ मा रेकी मास्टर सर्टिफिकेट पाएका थिए। साथै उनले सन् १९९९ मा महासी सयादव वंशका पूर्ण नियुक्त भिक्षुबाट विशेष बौद्ध उपचार विधि सिके। उनले यो सिकाउनको लागि पूर्ण अधिकार प्राप्त गरे र वास्तवमा काठमाडौंमा अनगरिका ननहरूलाई यो सिकाएका छन्।
