THE JOY OF LIVING DVDby Yongey Mingyur RinpocheIn this talk based on his groundbreaking first book, The Joy of Living, world-renowned Buddhist teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche invites us to join him in unlocking the secrets behind the practice of meditation. Working with neuroscientists at the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior, he provides clear insights into modern research indicating that systematic training in meditation can enhance activity in areas of the brain associated with happiness and compassion. He has also worked with physicists across the country to develop a fresh, scientifically based interpretation of the Buddhist understanding of the nature of reality. Mingyur Rinpoche weaves together the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, neuroscience, and quantum physics in a way that will forever change the way we understand the human experience. Born in 1975 in Nepal, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a rising star among the new generation of Tibetan Buddhist masters trained outside of Tibet. He is a highly venerated teacher and master of the Karma Kagyu lineage who was recognized as a tulku by both the 16th Karmapa and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. At the unusually young age of 13, Rinpoche entered a traditional three-year retreat and at age 17 was asked by Tai Situ Rinpoche to undertake a second three-year retreat and serve as its retreat master. At age 20, Situ Rinpoche asked Mingyur Rinpoche to oversee and teach at a new monastic university at Sherab Ling Monastery in India. His youthful appearance and young age belie his vast knowledge and wisdom of the buddha dharma. Rinpoche has one-pointedly devoted his entire life to the study, practice and teaching of the dharma and he has accomplished tremendous benefit for beings in this lifetime. He teaches actively in the West and is known for his remarkable ability to convey the Buddhist teachings in a clear and skillful manner. | |
