Can you recall an experience from your past that felt simply awful at the time, but you now see as something positive and necessary for your personal growth? When we're in the midst of a painful situation, it's natural for us to resist, complain, or wish it would just go away. The last thing we want to hear from someone is, "Be grateful for this learning opportunity!" In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with world-renowned meditation teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche about his book In Love with the World, and how we can begin to transform suffering into a pathway to compassion and connection.  Give a listen for some profound insights on: adding wood to the fire, or turning obstacles into opportunities; thinking outside of the box for solutions; impermanence; making friends with life's ups and downs; challenging yourself to grow and testing your level of realization in the real world; uncovering the fundamental qualities of awareness, love, and compassion within you; cultivating courage; bardo practice and meditating on our mortality; discovering the ground of luminosity; the four-step process of offering, dedication, intention, and motivation; emptiness, or "unborn awareness"; how acceptance leads to freedom; maintaining confidence and trust during times of uncertainty or despair; and more.

In this video, I will share everything I know to teach you how to meditate like a monk in 11 Minutes. I have learned how to meditate from the works of the best meditation teachers such as Alan Wallace and Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. For the first 2 years of my meditation journey, I didn't make much progress because I didn't have any formal meditation education. My life took a positive turn when I started my meditation teacher certification then, a 10 10-day silent meditation retreat. Since then, I have seen dramatic progress in my practice and the massive benefits that come from meditation. Now, I teach people the art of meditation through my content and collaborating with top-class meditation and wellness apps such as Insight timer, and Level Supermind. ---------------------------------------------------------------- **GET YOUR FREE MEDITATION GUIDE "Meditate Like a Monk""** https://bit.ly/43pbVN9 *****Join the FREE 14-Day Meditate Like a Monk Challenge***** https://bit.ly/meditatelikeamonkchallenge **GET YOUR FREE MANIFESTATION TEMPLATE + 7 DAY Course** http://bit.ly/-Manifestation-Challenge ---------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters: 00:00 Poetry on Meditation 00:15 Lack of Right Guidance 02:46 Part 1 of Meditation 04:14 Example of Concentration Meditation 05:09 Advantage for Beginner Meditators 07:09 Part 2 of Meditation 10:48 Example of Insight Meditation 11:26 Meditate Like a Monk Meditation Challenge learn to meditate, how to meditate for beginners, how to meditate for beginners, how to meditate like a monk, how to meditate properly

The Tibetan culture is known to be deeply influenced by Buddhism. But, how did Buddhism reach Tibet? What is Tibetan Buddhism? In this episode, Tenzin asks the renowned Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Master and Scholar H.H. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche these questions. Tune in to know what makes Tibetan Buddhism so unique.

Letting Go: Part 1 – Control and Power When we create chaos either internally or externally, it is usually caused by our need to fulfill one or all of the three programs of happiness. In this episode, we will dig into one of those programs – our need for control and power. We will go through the be STILL Pause process by bringing to mind a personal chaotic story that is driven by our need for control and power. We will center ourselves to be able to see how it effects our body, mind, and heart, and then let go and surrender to the present moment. From a grounded place of what is, we can be led by our true self connected to God, the divine, the universe, to what could be. (over the next two weeks we will address the other two programs of happiness) Our listening portion today is from Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, a Buddhist monk and international teacher. “All that we are looking for in life – all the happiness, contentment, and peace of mind – is right here In the present moment. Our very own awareness is itself fundamentally pure and good. Everything you ever wanted is right here in this present moment of awareness.

I'll spare you the full season but for the next few days I am going to be doing a series on how to get started with a meditation practice, even if you've never considered doing it before. The history of mindfulness and meditation is incredibly important and often overlooked, so today we're starting there because honoring roots is a critical piece in learning and respecting cultures without appropriating them. Plus, if we continue to choose to skip learning the real history of things, we will end up perpetuating negative cycles and losing sight of the meaning of these practices that are meant to do the opposite. So, today, I wanted to start with touching briefly on the history of meditation.  Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

Als kleines Sommerpausenzuckerl habe ich Dir eine Lesung mit einem Text von Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche aus seinem Werk "Buddha und die Wissenschaft vom Glück" vorbereitet, das ich hiermit sehr empfehlen kann. Es begleitet mich schon viele Jahre und ich lese aus dem 4. Kapitel LEERE einen wunderbaren Text zum Thema Leerheit. Wir verfolgen eine Diskussion zwischen Lehrer und Schüler und betrachten darin das Wesen dessen. Auch für mich sind dies beständige Impulse, die mich über das große Ganze nachdenken lassen und mich inspirieren. Ich wünsche dir viel Freude damit und etwas Ruhe für Körper und Geist. Deine Entspannungsbegleiterin Yvonne ( heute eher deine Vorleserin) wünscht dir einen wundervollen Sommer. Der Podcast kommt ab 13.09. aus der Sommerpause zurück. Der Unterstützer dieses Podcasts, das Online-Gesundstudio YF geht ebenfalls in eine kleine Schaffenspause vom 02.-09.09.21. In dieser Zeit sieh dich genau um und buche gern ab dem 10.09. deine persönlichen Bewegungspausen und Trainings oder Coachings, um dich deinen Zielen näher zu bringen. Ich freu mich auf dich.⚘

“Most of us are just not caring to ourselves. It is so much easier for us to have compassion for others and forget ourselves in the process.” Tifanny Nguyen In an effort to find fulfillment and meaning, many people end up subscribing to other people's ideas and definitions of what happiness is. True fulfillment, however, stems from within through knowing self and accepting the person that we are in totality. By focusing on self-awareness, people become more compassionate of themselves and motivated to pursue more fulfilling lives. This is according to our guest today, Tifanny Nguyen, who found out that the focus on personal transformation often precedes the spiritual journey.

Social media handles https://spunkyspiritualist.com/  https://www.facebook.com/SpunkySpiritualist/  My story started when I immigrated, but it was more like a night of the soul experience where I was depressed and suffered through a lot, and years later when life got better, I did not deal with the mess but just suppressed it and kept going. [3:55] It took me all the way into while I was in pharmacy school and at the time it seemed like nothing was wrong in my life but in reality, I was miserable and then my friend commented that she wished she had a relationship like mine. [4:39] I responded that it was not that great but immediately right after my coping mechanisms jumped right in and I started giving excuses. [5:18] It was a beautiful moment because it seems like my best friend knew me better than I did myself. [5:34] I became very open and vulnerable and shared with her about my past where I got into a lot of relationships I shouldn't be in and I hated myself a lot. [5:50] I always thought I had to earn happiness by doing a lot of things and just play every role perfectly which was just tiring. [6:12] So that was a saving grace, she also opened up and become vulnerable and share with me her past and it turned out that we were very similar. [6:46] What stuck with me is not about our past, but about how we were adamant that each other deserve the best happiness. [6:55] It took me a few months later while driving along and I have this simple epiphany that if I swap places with my best friend, I will never, ever even think to consider her any less. [7:09] I realized that I was hard on myself and forgave myself and that self-forgiveness was what kick-started my spiritual journey. [7:27] Immediately after I forgave myself, it was like an overnight effect that I felt that the burden was off and that I didn't have to pretend anymore. [7:39] I realized what I was feeling was valid so I took stock of my life on what's working and what was not. [7:50] A year later after I started my journey, I became ready then I met my teacher on Facebook and learned meditation. [8:26] With the work I do as a retail pharmacist, at one point my life was chaotic but with the foundation and the practice I had, there was always a sense of calm and being grounded that almost felt palpable. [9:15] I wished everybody would feel that but it is not always available for everyone and so it is from that wish that I started the business. [10:07] In my work now I help with busy professionals and high achievers where we walk the pattern through relationships, tracing back with their thought patterns beliefs, and perceptions, and how they view life and themselves. [10:24] What worked at the moment that I and my friend had was the kind of relationship we had where we were both understanding of each other and there was great trust. [12:43] We don't always have this kind of trust and understanding with family members or intimate relationships due to expectations but with friends it is different. [12:58] I think that trust, security, and understanding helps open up the conversation and sharing to be vulnerable where without it we just can't get to get down to the bottom to the truth. [13:56] Most of us are just not caring about ourselves. It is so much easier for us to have compassion for others and forget ourselves in the process. [15:15] Part of the healing process is to learn to know ourselves, take it with grace and give us a lot of love and compassion. [15:34] Commercial break [16:20] I was lucky to grow up in Asia, Vietnam which is a very spiritual country and even if we have no religion, 100% of Vietnamese have ancestorship. [18:20] I was always begging my mum to go see a psychic which she did much later when I was eighteen and after that, I just got sucked into it. [18:48] After a while, I started getting a lot of psychic reading and became like a dependency which was very unhealthy. [19:07] When I got to the US that trait of mine continued and later on I got exposed to the Tarot which was different from how it was done in Vietnam. [19:38] I got this urge and curiosity to go explore and I realized that I could do it which was quite surprising to me because I never thought I could do it. [20:30] So my brand is very analytical and nowhere intuitive at all. [21:10] Tarot is interesting to me because it has a system or guideline on which I can rely and not be completely lost and overwhelmed. [21:29] The beautiful thing about the Tarot is there is a lot of archetypes and is applicable in so many aspects of our life. [23:18] Later on, when I started my spiritual journey and awakening and started working with people I started noticing people also developing the same dependency tendency that I had before and therefore I stopped offering Tarot reading professionally. [23:44] It is also beautiful to just offer people an opportunity to explore their possibilities. [24:52] I think Tarot is a very good, personal tool to use for reflection and a great exploration tool to learn about oneself. [27:01] Another way that I have seen people use the Tarot a lot is when writers encounter writer's blocks. [27:37] A lot of artists also use the Tarot since it has so many themes and there is a lot of things that they can explore. [28:00] I would say any long-lasting fulfilling relationship that you ever wish in your life is so where you have to start at the solid foundation of the relationship with yourself. So invest in yourself and explore yourself. [30:42] …………………………………………………………………………………… Thank You to our August Sponsor! Tired of the time and expense to get a manicure or pedicure?

Taking inspiration from the exhibition "Awaken: A Tibetan Buddhist Journey Toward Enlightenment", each story uses artworks as a jumping off point as we hear from authors, artists, wisdom bearers, and Buddhist teachers, because every journey is different.

In Nepal, we went to this one little monastery and Karma and Pemba approached the shrine and very intentionally  put their hands to their forehead, to their lips, and then to their heart, while uttering a Tibetan mantra that means ‘homage to the Buddha', which they consider my highest self. Homage to the teachings, wisdom that has come before, and homage to the community, the interconnectedness of all things. That's the level of mindfulness they're operating from.

Confidence often seems to go along with success in the art world—when talking about the business side of things, qualities like self-assurance, decisiveness, and the ability to speak well about your work are important. In the studio, confidence may take a more private form—the ability to try new things, or to carry through with major projects. While there's no doubt that confidence is a good thing, many artists feel they fall short of having it. Today we're going to talk about confidence in a somewhat philosophical way that may help see it more broadly. In this episode we reference a book by a Tibetan Buddhist monk, In Love with the World, by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche about a spiritual journey in which he cast off his status and the trappings his esteemed position and wandered in India for several years without any resources, no money or possessions. He wrote, "To be confident you have to accept impermanent conditions." This is the opposite of the way most of us think about confidence, as a quality that results from knowing what to expect. But really, we do not ever truly know what lies ahead; we are always dealing with the unknown. Past successful experience can give us a sense of confidence but things can always turn out differently. Many of us have developed aspects of ourselves that show true confidence but may we may not recognize them as such. All of us have met and dealt with adversity in our lives, and the ability to adapt and cope with whatever comes along is important to confidence. Confidence also encompasses a sense of trust when things are rough; going ahead even when you feel anxious. It means being prepared for what you can control but understanding that our personal control is limited. And finally, it means understanding how to support --and accept support-- from others. Confidence is a composite of many qualities that we practice all the time in daily life, rather than something that we either have, or we don't. As artists, confidence comes through in our willingness to try new things, to be flexible, to remain true to our own vision, trusting in our art process, and to find balance with our goals and expectations.

Devon and Craig Hase join Raghu to talk tangible mindfulness, authenticity in meditation, and dismantling racism in spiritual communities.Devon has been committed to meditation since 2000, spending years in retreat in the Insight and Vajrayana traditions, and has been mentored by Joseph Goldstein, Tara Brach, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.

My guests this week are Devon Hase and Craig Hase, authors of the new book, How Not to Be a Hot Mess. These two have a way of making the principles of mindfulness and Buddhism relevant and easy to understand. As you’ll hear, we discussed many points of intersection in how they and I think about mindfulness, and the need for additional practices besides simply being present and open. We talked a lot about “waking up from the dream” to more fully inhabit our lives, what Buddhism has to say about our sex lives, and the importance of bringing ritual into our lives. I think you’ll find a lot here that’s useful. Other topics we explored included: How to live out of what matters to us Finding centering and grounding when things are shifting around us Why mindfulness is the cornerstone of a life well-lived Mindfulness as coming home to ourselves Settling the mind so we can look at our life with precision What we can learn from being in touch with our bodies The freedom in discovering what’s actually here What it means to be less identified with our experience The difference between knowledge and a felt experience Beginner’s mind: experiencing things as if for the first time Our shared admiration of Pema Chödrön’s work, including The Wisdom of No Escape and When Things Fall Apart  The “genuine heart of sadness” and the invitation to be real (see Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior) What it means to “wake up from the dream” How we tend to live in our thoughts and stories, vs. being in the raw experience of now Making Buddhist principles come to life The “bliss of blamelessness” How bad sex is related to the culture of consumerism Letting go of “endpoints” in sex Concerns about the influence of pornography on young people’s developing ideas about sex Why Craig recommends not getting drunk or high The healthy homeostasis that our bodies naturally seek Bringing a bit of monastery into our daily lives The contentment we can find through simplicity The importance of ritual, and how to bring little moments of ritual into our days Devon Hase has been practicing meditation for the past 20 years. She has spent years in meditation retreat and has been mentored by Joseph Goldstein, Tara Brach, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, and many others. Before teaching dharma full time, Devon was an English professor for a decade, where she focused on social and cultural studies. As a dharma teacher, Devon supports practitioners with persona dharma mentoring, serves on retreat teams at the Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock, and offers meditation retreats with Craig throughout North America and Europe. Photo by Natalie Faye She mentors mindfulness teachers through Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, and can be found teaching meditation on the Simple Habit app. Craig Hase started intensive meditation training in 1994. His biggest influences have been Zentatsu Richard Baker-Roshi, Joseph Goldstein, and Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. Craig lived in a Zen monastery for 6 years before getting his PhD in counseling psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he had the good fortune to learn from neuroscientist Richard Davidson and contemplative scholar John Dunne, among other luminaries. He mentors dharma and meditation practitioners full-time and teaches all over the place with Devon and others. When they’re not flying around teaching retreats, Devon and Craig live together in Ashland, Oregon, in urban retreat, dividing their weeks between practice and service.

We have spent the past few episodes talking with black and white Americans about race. But for this episode I wanted to get the view from outside. So I called up a man on the other side of the planet who is widely recognized to be one of the world's greatest living meditation masters. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is the author of such books as The Joy of Living and In Love with the World. He

“Awareness is like the sky, and panic is like the clouds. The sky is free, and the clouds cannot change the nature of the sky.” Episode Summary: Mingyur Rinpoche, an esteemed Tibetan teacher, master of the Karma Kagyu and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, joins us to share his ancient wisdom of Tibet, in a fresh and practical way. He will give us steps to transform suffering into something positive and worthy, and action steps to take during this challenging time, such as focusing on loving, serving, reflecting, and making impactful changes for your future. Some Questions That I Ask: How do you use ‘panic' as a support for your meditation? Is suffering necessary? Is there another way for us to evolve and grow without having to suffer? How can we be vigilant in not getting attached to our egos? How can you guide us to make peace with the inevitability of death, so we can live freely and in peace? How much of our life is predestined? And how much are we really in control of our lives? In This Episode You Will Learn: The keys to overcome suffering and your mind. The best moment to transform yourself, for real. The definition of what this pandemic is bringing to us as a whole. How to connect with your true fundamental nature more deeply and profoundly. A healthy way to redirect the feeling of panic and use it as a benefit to your evolution.

I’m bringing a new kind of inspiration to this episode of the Yoga Inspiration Podcast! You may not realize it, but humor is so important to our spiritual journey - especially right now. We can walk the line between appropriate and inappropriate humor, or we can use humor to help us and our fellow yoga students to cope, understand, and bring some light to an otherwise dark and confusing time. My guest, conscious comedian JP Sears, is here to discuss how humor can be a yogis best motivator. What I love most about humor is that it takes something that’s mysterious and makes it approachable. If you’ve ever been intimidated by a yoga studio, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Being able to laugh at your awkwardness or the silliness of the poses is a great way to relax and come into your own in a yoga class. For more practiced yoga students, humor is a great way to approach meditation and keep your ego in check. At least, that’s how JP does it. JP’s motivation for comedy came from a personal need to get his own big head back to size. He was quickly becoming aware of his own egotistical nature - as he calls it - and he wanted to bring himself back to earth.  As students of yoga, we aren’t immune to our own successes. Sometimes on our spiritual journey we can grow a little over-confident in our abilities and the role we play. That role puffs up an ego and influences the way we share our spirituality with others. Humor can be a way to tap into that side of our ego, to learn where it hides and how it feeds, and ultimately laugh at it (and ourselves).  Just like yoga students, comedians have layers. When you start to peel away the layers of their jokes, you realize that they are making some serious points. We peel away some of JP’s jokes on this episode and really talk about what it means to be a comedian during the Coronavirus. Because there’s not too much humor in this situation. There’s a lot of fear, a lot of anxiety, and JP points out ways we can still laugh in the face of trauma without disrespecting the severity of our situation. With humor, timing is everything. Navigating when is the right time to make a joke is one big topic we discuss on this episode. Humor isn’t always going to be an appropriate response for everyone, but there are ways to use humor in a way that’s inspiring without being inappropriate.  How can we inspire ourselves with humor? JP says to look at our lives as a spiritual practice. Too often we compartmentalize our yoga journey and our spirituality. It becomes something we only do on the yoga mat or when we meditate, which is kind of silly when you think about it. JP looks at his experiences and his relationships all as spiritual practices. Every day there are opportunities to learn by fire and discover new layers of yourself, and you don’t have to be in a yoga studio to do it.  I hope that taking this kind of approach to your spiritual journey - and being able to laugh along the way - will inspire you to continue your yoga practice throughout these sheltered times. Being able to laugh at ourselves can be immensely healing. I know that, personally, I would not have been able to work on my higher spiritual journey if I wasn’t able to laugh. When JP interviews me at the end of this episode, I explain how humor tackled my internal antagonistic paradigm of achievement, and I hope it helps you to see how humor and laughter can encourage your spiritual journey.

Canal de Meditación en YouTube: Nemmy Sanbo >>Cuando comencé mi camino en el maravilloso mundo de la meditación, me costaba comprender el sentido. Adoraba la idea de la meditación en sí.. pero dudaba mucho de mi práctica.. si lo estaría haciendo bien o no :) y mis Maestros mas admirados no gustaban normalmente de usar la palabra. Así que trato de explicarlo aquí con simples ejemplos inspirados en las enseñanzas de Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. GRACIAS POR PRACTICAR CONMIGO! Espero que te sirva, Namaste

We are sitting with so much uncertainty these days. I know many of us have been impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic, and it’s put many of us in a difficult space. Even the most dedicated yoga practitioners are having a hard time, myself included. I’m turning to my yoga community for guidance right now, and I’m sharing their responses with you on this episode. Hearing real stories from fellow yogis can help us through this in-between stage of not-knowing. Uncertainty is a common trigger for many anxieties, and just being able to discuss these fears with others can be a huge relief. Especially when we can’t leave our homes to see friends or even get out to our favorite yoga studios.  If yoga teaches us anything right now it is that it’s impossible to try and deny our depressive or anxious emotions. In order to become a whole person, we must embrace the darkness. Yoga is about embracing the darkest, most vulnerable sides of ourselves and recognizing that this, too, shall pass. Everything is of cycles, and we will not be in this uncertain state forever.  Much of what I talk about in this episode is inspired by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s book In Love with the World. With it I discuss the Buddhist Bardo states, especially the Bardo of the unknown and the transient. It acts as my guidance on this inner journey of my mind as I process the uncertain situations happening around me. I hope to inspire my fellow yogis struggling with their own anxieties.  You are a student of yoga, and you have the strength within you to bear the brunt of these uncertain times. Yoga practice is designed to help us get through challenges just like these. Meditation, breathing exercises, and centering yourself within yourself are all techniques made to ease the mind and soothe anxiety.  The responses I share in this episode vary across the board. I work with many yoga students from across the globe, and we are all in varying degrees of social distancing and lockdown. But right now, it seems we are all sharing the same grateful attitude for having our yoga practice.  The reality of yoga right now is that it’s available to us whenever we need it.

Zen teachings on sickness, death and healing. Quoted text: In Love with the World by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

At the age of 36, the Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche sneaked out of his monastery in Bodhgaya, India, in the middle of the night to live as a beggar and traveling yogi. The story of how he left behind his privileged lifestyle for a four-year wandering retreat is told in the new book, In Love With the World: A Monk's Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying, which he co-wrote with his student and Tricycle’s founding editor, Helen Tworkov. Tworkov sits down with James Shaheen, Tricycle’s publisher and editor, to discuss how she helped Mingyur Rinpoche tell his story, the near-death experience that transformed his life and teachings, and how seeing the small deaths we experience each day can help us alleviate our fears of dying. They also discuss the origins of the magazine and how the Western Buddhist landscape has changed over time.

Have you ever said "yes," when you really wanted to say "no?" Have you ever felt angry and resentful at someone, but you couldn't figure out why? Maybe you just didn't know how to get someone to respect your wishes despite what you thought were clear messages about what you want. Today we're talking about a small segment of what it means to have boundaries. Boundaries is a HUGE topic, but what we usually think about when we talk about boundaries is the dividing line between how we want to be treated and how we actually are treated. I talk to Tiffany Nguyen, a personal coach, who shares her personal stories involving recognizing and outlining boundaries for others to respect and us to uphold. Tiffany Nguyen is a spiritual life coach who helps busy professionals and sensitive, high-achievers reconnect with their truths and live authentically. She combines practicality and spiritual wisdom to guide people towards clarity and confidence in who they are, leading them to inner peace and happiness. Tiffany holds a Doctor of Pharmacy and is a student of Tibetan Meditation Master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. You're going to love our chat today.

From a young age, he was drawn to a life of contemplation. In addition to extensive training in the meditative and philosophical traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, Rinpoche has maintained a lifelong interest in Western science and psychology.

His candid, often humorous accounts of his own personal difficulties have endeared him to Buddhist and non-Buddhist students alike.

In Episode 58, Quinn & Brian ask: Is faith sustainable? Our guest is Dekila Chungyalpa, a trained scientist and Buddhist operating at the intersection of science, faith, and the environment. She is the director of The Loka Initiative, a new and innovative education and outreach program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison for faith leaders and religious institutions. Its mission is to support faith-led environmental efforts locally and around the world through collaborations with faith leaders and religious institutions on environmental protection, sustainable development, and global health issues. Dekila believes that science and religion can be sympathetic, rather than adversarial, in their commitment to solving environmental and social problems compassionately and effectively. We are all different, in oh so very many ways, but there’s one thing that that every single human being has in common: if we destroy the planet through our own negligence, there will be nowhere left for us to argue about (and kill each other over) religion and politics.

He lived and studied Tibetan and Buddhism with great Lamas in holy places of the Buddha and his followers.

His story of recovery and support of unexpected friends and family will inspire and amaze you!

In this episode we speak with Karma Kagyu teacher, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. He starts off by telling us about how he got into formal Buddhist practice, at the tender age of 9. He also shares some of his initial challenges with anxiety, and how he was able to work with it on his first 3-year retreat. Rinpoche also shares some suggestions for meditators who are fairly new to the path, suggesting that they focus on 1) Wisdom & 2) Method. In addition to that he speaks about what makes a good teacher and whether or not it is vital to practice in a particular lineage. We finish our interview with Rinpoche discussing the importance of Joy on the Buddhist path, and of what he calls “Boundless Joy.” Tying in with that he shares what it was like participating in the meditative research conducted by Dr. Richard Davidson, and what the results of that study were.
