"The goal of insight practice is to break down the illusions of permanence, singularity, and independence." – Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

As awareness meditation calms our minds, we may notice that our perception of ourselves and the world is colored by all kinds of limiting ideas and beliefs. In the practice of insight meditation we use awareness to analyze the nature of these mental constructions and patterns and pry them apart. In this way we learn to see reality more clearly, and gain freedom from the influence of these concepts on our lives. In this workshop, Khenpo Kunga will explore how careful observation of ourselves and our world can lead to liberative insight.

About Khenpo Kunga

Khenpo Kunga is a Senior Tergar Lama. He became a monk at a young age and began his education at Tergar monastery, where he studied the rituals, prayers, and other traditional practices of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. At fifteen, he entered an extended meditation retreat and spent three years mastering the profound contemplative practices of the Kagyü lineage.

Following this period of intense meditation practice, he entered the renowned Dzongsar monastic college near Dharamsala in Northwest India. After studying there for eleven years and receiving his Khenpo degree (roughly equivalent to a PhD), he taught at Dzongsar college for three additional years. Khenpo Kunga’s primary teacher is Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, though he has studied with many other revered masters as well.

In recent years, Khenpo Kunga has taught in Asia, Europe, and the United States as one of the main teachers for the worldwide network of Tergar monasteries, meditation centers, and meditation groups. Most recently, he completed a three-year solitary retreat at Tergar Osel Ling monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal, further deepening his commitment to realization for the benefit of all beings.
