The constantly shifting thoughts and emotions we experience are only one small part of our inner world. Each and every moment, we have the opportunity to connect with a timeless awareness that is not affected in any way by the changing conditions of our lives. — Mingyur Rinpoche
We pour so much energy into structuring and building up our lives, creating expectations and chasing goals, only to see them shift and fall apart, leaving us feeling lost and uncertain. If this resonates with you, you are not alone.
In today's world, it's easy to get swept away by the current of daily responsibilities, feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from what truly matters. But what if there was a different way — a way that opens to a sense of peace and clarity amidst the chaos?
We invite you to join this retreat — streamed live from Berlin, Germany — based on core Buddhist principles known as the four seals: impermanence, suffering, no-self (emptiness), and nirvana. By exploring these essential teachings, you will gain transformative insights to help navigate stress and anxiety, and to uproot the constant chase for more, ultimately leading to the recognition of your innate well-being.
This retreat will be streamed live from Germany. If you would like to attend the event in-person, please click here for more information.
We are pleased to announce that Lama Tashi will be joining us for the Americas teaching session at 2:30 pm EST (New York) on July 4 and 5. Lama Tashi will be stepping in on behalf of Lama Trinley, who was previously scheduled for this event, and we look forward to the unique perspective he will bring to these special teachings.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
Go beyond the illusion of a solid, separate self and gain a deeper understanding of the world and your place in it. By exploring these core Buddhist principles, you can gain clarity and insight into your own experiences, helping you navigate life's ups and downs with more ease. Unlock new perspectives and discover tools to deal with stress, find focus, and cultivate a deeper sense of peace and well-being.

About Mingyur Rinpoche
In his approach to teaching meditation, Mingyur Rinpoche integrates traditional Buddhist practice and philosophy with the current scientific understanding of the mind and mental health – making the practice of meditation relevant and accessible to students around the world.
Mingyur Rinpoche is a world-renowned meditation teacher with personal experience of anxiety and panic attacks, which he suffered from throughout his childhood and into his teenage years, when he learned to transform his panic through meditation. Born in Nepal in 1975, Mingyur Rinpoche began to study meditation as a young boy with his father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, himself a well-respected Buddhist teacher. As a child he became interested in contemporary science through conversations with scientists who were visiting his father, and as he grew older he began to collaborate with neuroscientists and psychologists, including Richard Davidson and Antoine Lutz at the University of Wisconsin, on research projects that study the effects of meditation on the brain and the mind.
Mingyur Rinpoche’s first book, The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness, debuted on the New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into over twenty languages. His second book, Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom, explores how difficult emotions and challenging life situations can be used as stepping stones to discover joy and freedom. In his most recent book, In Love with the World, Mingyur Rinpoche shares how his meditation practice sustained him when he left his monastery to wander through India and the powerfully transformative insights he gained from the near-death experience he had at the beginning of his journey. Mingyur Rinpoche recently appeared in the Netflix series The Mind, Explained, in an episode about the benefits of mindfulness.
As the head of the Tergar Meditation Community, Mingyur Rinpoche supports groups of students in more than thirty countries, leading workshops around the world for new and returning students every year.
Khenpo Pema Woser
Khenpo Pema Woser was born in a border area in the Himalayas known as Tsum. After the tragic death of his mother, Khenpo-la left his home in order to study and practice the Dharma and joined Tergar Oseling Monastery, located near the great stupa of Swayambunath. Shortly after, and at the encouragement of Mingyur Rinpoche, his root guru, Khenpo Pema Woser joined the monastic college at Sherab Ling monastery. Since completing his traditional monastic studies and receiving the title of Khenpo in 2010, Khenpo Pema Woser has worked closely with Mingyur Rinpoche to realize his vision at Tergar Osel Ling, primarily teaching logic, debate, and epistemology, and serving in various leadership roles.
In addition to the traditional course of study, Khenpo-la has studied many important practice systems. This includes those described in the Great Five Treasuries by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye as well as numerous commentaries on Mahamudra. These transmissions and teachings have come from great masters such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tai Situ Rinpoche, and Mingyur Rinpoche.
Lama Tashi
Born in Tibet in 1966, Tashi Lama began his spiritual journey at age 10 under the guidance of Mingyur Rinpoche’s father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. His deep commitment and understanding of Buddhist teachings led to his appointment as an assistant to Tsoknyi Rinpoche at the age of 22.
Alongside Mingyur Rinpoche, Tashi Lama was instrumental in establishing the Ngedon Osel Ling Monastery in Nepal, now known as Tergar Osel Ling. For over 25 years, he has traveled extensively to share the teachings and assist Rinpoche in various capacities. A dedicated practitioner, Tashi Lama participated in the final two years of Mingyur Rinpoche’s wandering retreat and then extended his own retreat for another year and a half.
Tashi Lama’s rich experience and wisdom are drawn from serving in over 30 of Mingyur Rinpoche’s communities and receiving teachings from esteemed masters like Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. In 2019, he transitioned from the monastic community, a personal decision reflecting his commitment to adapting spiritual teachings to the contexts of modern life. His authentic presence and ability to convey profound insights in a relevant way make him a beloved teacher, bridging the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism with the realities of the contemporary world.
