Dharma Online: Mingyur Rinpoche to Lead Livestream Workshop “Meditation for Daily Life”

The Tergar Meditation Community, founded by revered meditation teacher and master of the Karma Kagyu and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, has announced that Mingyur Rinpoche will lead a half-day online meditation workshop on November 30. Titled “Meditation for Daily Life,” the livestreamed event aims to provide a comprehensive foundation for all practitioners to build a regular and sustainable meditation practice.

“Meditation is more than just focusing on the breath. In this half-day meditation workshop with renowned meditation expert Mingyur Rinpoche, discover how meditation can develop three life skills for greater peace in daily life: being present, being kind, and being curious,” Tergar explained. “Whether at home, school, or work, these skills can be applied anytime and anywhere to bring greater joy, well-being, and resilience to the ups and downs of life.” (Tergar)

The “Meditation for Daily Life” program will include live teachings with Mingyur Rinpoche and a practice session led by Tergar meditation guides. Participants can expect to learn the essence of meditation directly from Mingyur Rinpoche, as well as how to be present without worrying about the past or future, accept oneself and others with kindness, and develop wisdom by cultivating curiosity about the reality of things.

“Modern life can be overwhelming, with stress, anxiety and busyness taking a toll on our well-being,” Tergar said in an announcement shared with BDG. “This is the perfect opportunity to invite a friend or loved one to experience Rinpoche’s wonderful ability to convey ancient wisdom in such a helpful, humorous and warm way.”

This event is open to all and will be broadcast live at the following times, with interpretation from English to Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish:

“Everyone deserves this moment to discover their inherent awareness, compassion, and wisdom,” Tergar noted. “Tergar events with Mingyur Rinpoche are not just about gaining knowledge; they are about personal transformation.”

“By dedicating time to attend, you are investing in your own growth, self-awareness, and inner peace. In addition to Rinpoche’s teachings, you will enjoy guided meditation, group discussions, and connection with the community.

Mingyur Rinpoche, founder of the Tergar Meditation Community, which has centers and practice groups around the world, is a renowned teacher and best-selling author whose books include: The joy of living: discovering the secret and the science of happiness (2007); Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom (2009); And Turning Confusion into Clarity: A Guide to the Fundamental Practices of Tibetan Buddhism (2014)

Born in 1975 in the Himalayan border region between Tibet and Nepal, Mingyur Rinpoche received extensive training in the meditative and philosophical traditions of Tibetan Buddhism from his father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (1920-1996), considered one of the greatest modern Dzogchen masters, and then at Sherab Ling Monastery in northern India. After only two years, at the age of 13, Mingyur Rinpoche entered a three-year meditation retreat, then completed a second one immediately afterward, as a retreat master. At the age of 23, Rinpoche received full monastic ordination.

Mingyur Rinpoche undertook a four-year solitary wandering retreat through the Himalayas in 2011-2015. In recounting how he came to terms with the realities of his ambition to practice as a wandering yogi, Rinpoche revealed that he faced many personal and spiritual challenges, including, at one point, his own mortality. Rinpoche described the years he spent wandering in the Himalayas as “one of the best times of my life.”*

Meditation is actually a very simple exercise of resting in the natural state of your current mind and allowing yourself to simply and clearly be present to whatever thoughts, sensations or emotions arise. — Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
