What makes our birth so precious is our potential for awakening. We are born buddhas, and all dharma practices help us recognize and nurture this truth. Because we do not actually believe in our own capacity for awakening, these teachings work to reverse the tendency to see ourselves as insufficient.
– Mingyur Rinpoche

If we are inherently awake and possess innate basic goodness, why do we often feel lost and incomplete? Mingyur Rinpoche and Tergar invite you to embark on a year-long exploration of this fundamental question, delving into the transformative wisdom of the Vajrayana. This special webinar begins the Blueprints of Awakening transmission.
We all become entangled in thoughts and emotions that obscure our true nature, creating the illusion of lack and separation. Vajrayana provides powerful tools to dismantle these false narratives, revealing the radiant, awakened nature that resides within each of us. Join Mingyur Rinpoche as he gives an overview of the Vajrayana, including the five wisdom energies — a beautiful framework for understanding ourselves, our emotions, and the world around us.
Mingyur Rinpoche's teachings offer practical wisdom applicable to the challenges of modern life, providing tools to use difficult emotions and life obstacles as our most direct path to wisdom. This webinar offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from a world-renowned teacher and gain insights into the profound practices of Vajrayana. Marking the beginning of Tergar's 2025–26 transmission of teachings, this is a unique opportunity to connect with a vibrant community and embark on a year-long journey of self-discovery through the Blueprints of Awakening.

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.
