In this special episode of the Mindrolling Podcast, Krishna Das and Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, Tibetan teacher and master of the Karma Kagyu and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, share a conversation with Raghu Markus about navigating the path of spiritual practice.
Born in 1975, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a much-loved and accomplished Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher. 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. Rinpoche currently teaches throughout the world, with centers on four continents. His candid and often humorous accounts of his own personal difficulties have endeared him to Buddhist and non-Buddhist students alike. Learn more about Rinpoche and find his worldwide teaching schedule at tergar.org.
Born On The Path
Mingyur Rinpoche shares a bit of his childhood in Nepal. He describes what it was like to study under his father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, who comes from a lineage of Buddhist teachers.
“I learned meditation from my father when I was nine years old. It is amazing to have such a great meditator as my father. So many people are born and after that, they look for a meditation teacher. I am lucky, just being born and there is a teacher.” - Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
A Monk’s Journey (7:00)
We hear the account of Mingyur Rinpoche’s decision as a young man to leave behind his family, his roles and attachments in pursuit of realization. He speaks about the merits of exposing oneself to a path of practice that gradually intensifies in difficulty and reward.
“In our lives, many times, there might be some challenges. Challenges from the environment, physical challenges or mental challenges - things like that are a really great opportunity to transform.” - Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Courage is a Really Big Thing (22:10)
Our group discusses the importance of courage and hope in getting us through our greatest challenges. They look at the ways we grow when we face our fears head on persevere through hard times.
“For a long time it was very quiet. Maharaj-ji was just lying on a bed and all of a sudden he looks at me and says, ‘ Courage is a really big thing.’ There were times in my life where all I had was the memory of that moment. It was enough to get me through terrible times.” - Krishna Das
Through the Bardos of Living, Dying and The Moment (26:40)
Mingyur Rinpoche speaks about the intermediate space of the Bardo that offers the best opportunity we have to connect with our most fundamental nature. He examines the Bardos that exist in our lives which allow us to be present and reflect our true nature in that space. The group speaks with Rinpoche about the practices that allow us to cultivate the awareness to enter into the Bardo of the moment.
Letting Go (48:25)
Rinpoche talks about integrating his experiences as a mendicate yogi. Wandering the land, begging for food and embracing all that life had to offer him - including near death. He describes the immense peace and awareness that he encountered while in grips of deadly illness.
“It was a great experience for me. It was the most difficult, but that was the best experience for me I think. Before that, I had a lot of fear and insecurity. Afterward, my journey was really wonderful.” - Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

Long life Rinpoche la. May your light of wisdom spread all over the world to luminate the darkness of dull beings... 🙏🙏🙏
I got to hear him speak with Sam Harris at a waking up event. I learned more about meditation in that hour than I had 15 years meditating. He’s a great teacher, his books are great and if I could have a teacher it would be him. Jack Kornfield is a great teacher too.
So fortunate to have Mingyur Rinpoche on the podcast, thank you for this!
thank you so much renpoche la..
Thanks Raghu and Krishna, Mingyur Rinpoche cleared so many doubts about meditating techniques. Do bring him again on another podcast.
Tulku Urgyen was such a great teacher very humble and so very deep and his sons are incredible teachers
Some heavy moments for me in this one, I really have no words to explain it, but thank you for this!

"The monastery focuses on bringing ancient wisdom and modern knowledge together, now". - Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche I love it.
This is so great especially during this critical/unstable time! Thank you a million times!
I love this! I’m currently enrolled in the Joy of Living meditation training through the Tergar Community. Mingyur’s teachings have been very transformational!
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche 🙏🏻
quelle générosité ! so much generosity and creativity !!
This is such a treasure! Thank you for this wonderful interview. The most touching part for me is when Rinpoche said when he was listening to songs of realization of the yogis as a young boy, his grandma and mother and him would cry together. That really moved me.
Thank you for this very meaningful podcast. Namaste 🕉❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
