Available March 3, 2026On the auspicious occasion of Chotrul Düchen, the Rime Buddhist Center is honored to announce the release of Entering the Mandala: Foundations for the Vajrayāna Path.
This book offers a clear, grounded, and accessible introduction to the Vajrayāna Buddhist path. Designed for sincere practitioners and curious seekers alike, Entering the Mandala introduces the essential view, symbolism, devotional orientation, and ethical foundations necessary for engaging Vajrayāna practice with confidence and care.
Rather than presenting Vajrayāna as distant or esoteric, this book invites readers to understand it as a living path of transformation—one rooted in compassion, wisdom, and sacred perception.
Released in honor of Chotrul Düchen, a powerful day for practice and positive aspiration.
Available through the Rime Buddhist Center Gift Shop or online at Amazon.

We are delighted to announce the release of Basics of Buddhism, a clear and accessible introduction to the Buddhist path, published through the Rime Buddhist Center.
Written for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners, Basics of Buddhism explores the foundational teachings of the Buddha—such as the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, compassion, wisdom, and meditation—in a way that is practical, non-sectarian, and grounded in lived experience.
This book is offered as a guide for those seeking clarity in uncertain times, and as a companion for anyone wishing to integrate Buddhist wisdom into daily life.
Join us on February 18 at 6pm for a special evening marking the release of Basics of Buddhism. Through a short Dharma talk, guided reflection, and open Q&A, we’ll explore how the Buddhist path begins with curiosity and unfolds through lived practice. All are welcome—no prior experience required.
Available through the Rime Center Gift Shop or on Amazon.
Due to the impending winter storm and extreme cold temperatures, the Rime Buddhist Center will be closed for all in-person activities this Sunday, January 25.
