  • Learn why awareness is fundamental to your well-being

  • Be led through practices to touch into and cultivate the 4 Pillars of Well-being—Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose

About Mingyur Rinpoche

Born in Nepal, Mingyur Rinpoche began to study meditation as a young boy and spent many years of his childhood in strict retreat and traditional training. Rinpoche has also had a lifelong interest in Western science and psychology, which has led to many fruitful collaborations with neuroscientists and psychologists. In his approach to teaching meditation, he integrates traditional Buddhist practice and philosophy with the current scientific understanding of the mind and mental health – making the practice of mediation relevant and accessible to students around the world. Rinpoche is the author of the best-selling book The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness, as well as several other titles.

You can learn more about his work through Tergar Meditation Community and find his Online Training for The Joy of Living here.

    Although I have practiced mediation off and on for decades (yoga, mindfulness exercise) this time I had a better framework of real purpose & didn’t get as as annoyed with myself being distracted at times. Thank you!
