Embrace the transformative power of change and acceptance. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche will guide you through practical insights on impermanence, meditation, death, and transformation. Drawing from his book, “In Love with the World: A Monk’s Journey through the Bardos of Living and Dying,” this unique opportunity allows you to receive instructions on the bardo teachings from one of the greatest meditation masters of our time.
The full-day will feature teaching sessions, discussions, and short periods of meditation. This seminar is suitable for anyone interested in meditation and Tibetan Buddhism.
Actually, death and dying are one of the biggest and best adventures in our lives. The great opportunity when we are facing the real process of dying is that we can really see this awareness – the awareness beyond concepts.
– Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, The Essence of the Bardo of Dying
