gracias por los 4 elementos del bienestar!!
Thank you Myngiur Rinpoche for the meditations! Now I can understand what awareness means. Love and blessings from Chile. Klara
What a beautiful being! Thank you for that practice.
Thank you so much. I’m touched by how much you have put into your work. I believe you once talked about using sound too as an object and I’d like to go back and hear that. But to know we have innate purpose is helpful here.
So wonderful ! I’ll be returning to this session and this 4-pillar practice as regularly as I can. Toggling from background to foreground in daily life, how an enriched and beautiful a way of living. Thank you!
Thankyou so much Mingyur Rinpoche for sharing Your knowledge with us and for taking us into this nice meditation, so kindly and with a compassion way.

It’s a great privilege to have been able to benefit from your talk. The simplicity and conciseness of the discussion strongly conveyed the power of these four pillars to well being. Thank you!
I am so grateful for that meditation. Ramune, Lithuania
??? Please, may I post a question to the monks, the scientists and especially the ex-monk, knowing both sides of life very well.
I was ordained at the age of 65 (!) in Teckchen Chöling by His Holiness, took 1,5 years later the full ordination from the Vietnamese Master Thich Nhu Tien at the Pagoda Vien Giac in Hannover, Germany. My education was a Diploma in Mathematics and much later on a Masters Degree in Politics, Economy, Philosphy. My decision to become a nun was partly due to the wish to help to establish structures for the ordained sangha in the west which would reflect all the modern scientific findings.
To me it seems like we should move away from “don’t do this and don’t do that” but rather focus on the development of positive skills to attain buddhahood for the sake of all living beeings. Of cause, a proper sense of renunciation. meaning a proper understanding of the shortcomings of cyclic existence is required. Maybe much more required as it was in Tibet and Asian countries.
It is very difficult to find an appropriate role for monastics in the west, teaching is by no means any longer a privilege of monastics.
If you have any ideas, suggestions what we could do, I would be more than gratefu.

I just love the term ‘loosely straight’ in reference to the spine ! Revelation 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Gratitude Myngiur Rinpoche for the wonderful meditation practices related to the four pillars of well being and for paving the way to inculcate these in our daily lives.
Thank you, Mingyur Rinpoche, for this practice. Very heartwarming and meaningful. Greatings from Germany
Your book ‘Joy of Living’ gave me insights into several aspects that I did not find reference to in literature that I have perused in my life.
Hence, it is with eagerness that I viewed this session.
Your expose on the four pillars was very enriching, especially the revelations that I had while being lead by you in meditation practise. Thank you!
I appreciate it so much. Thank you!
Wonderful, thank you so much Mingyur Rinpoche. Greetings and love to all

Thank you so much. This has brought all of what has been spoken about into one great meditation I have already shared with my son this evening. Such a beautiful meditation and I now have a much improved understanding of awareness.
