Meditation enables us to discover a lasting contentment that is not subject to the fluctuating conditions of our lives, and to nurture the qualities of wisdom and compassion that naturally manifest from awareness itself. The Joy of Living is a secular path of meditation practice that was created by Mingyur Rinpoche. Though rooted in the ancient Buddhist teachings of Tibet, these practices are not religious in nature. They deal with basic functions of the mind, such as mindful awareness and the impulse to move toward happiness and away from suffering. In working with these qualities of mind, we gradually transform our relationship to present-moment experience, learning to approach our thoughts, feelings, and sensory experiences with unconditional warmth and acceptance. Therefore, Joy of Living is a path of meditation practice that can be followed by anyone, regardless of religious or cultural orientation.

【The Joy of Living program contains three levels】
– Calming the Mind
– Opening the Heart
– Awakening Wisdom

This teaching offers an opportunity to practice the Joy of Living teachings under Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s direct guidance.
