In 2024 we will now be expanding to Mindfulness Week! based on the feedback we received from the attendees of Mindfulness Day 2023.

Mark your calendars for September 25 – 27th, 2024.

Our keynote lecture will be delivered online by the Venerable Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche on September 25th at 10-11am. A full agenda for 2024 will be published soon, stay tuned! 

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a teacher, best-selling author and the Spiritual leader
of the Tergar Sangha worldwide. He possesses a rare ability to present the ancient
wisdom of Tibet in a fresh, engaging manner. His profound yet accessible
teachings and playful sense of humor have endeared him to students around the
world. Most uniquely, Rinpoche’s teachings weave together his own personal
experiences with modern scientific research, relating both to the practice of
meditation.

Born in 1975 in the Himalayan border regions between Tibet and Nepal, Mingyur
Rinpoche is a much-loved and accomplished meditation master. He began his life
of contemplation early, spending much of his childhood in retreat, and at age
seventeen became a teacher at his monastery’s three-year retreat center. After
completing the traditional Buddhist training in the meditative and philosophical
traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, he founded a monastic college at his home
monastery in north India. In addition, Mingyur Rinpoche has had a lifelong interest
in Western science and psychology. He has worked with famed neuroscientists
Francisco Varela, Richard Davidson, Antoine Lutz, and others, examining the
effects of meditation on the brains of advanced meditators. The results of this
groundbreaking research were reported in many of the world’s most widely read
publications, including National Geographic and Time.

Mingyur Rinpoche’s best-selling books, The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret
and Science of Happiness, and In Love with the World: A Monk’s Journey Through
the Bardos of Living and Dying, were on the New York Times bestseller list and
have been translated into over twenty languages. Rinpoche is also the author of:
Turning Confusion into Clarity: A Guide to the Foundation Practices of Tibetan
Buddhism, Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom, and
illustrated children’s books entitled Ziji: The Puppy that Learned to Meditate, and
Ziji and the Very Scary Man. His recent TED Talk is entitled How to tap into your
awareness — and why meditation is easier than you think.

Rinpoche currently teaches throughout the world, with Tergar meditation centers
on six continents. His social engagement projects include: schools, women’s
empowerment, environmental and medical projects. For more information visit
