In this webinar, you will discover Tergar's Path of Liberation, an experiential path of meditation for those who wish to practice Buddhism under the guidance of Mingyur Rinpoche. Based on ancient wisdom teachings from the nature of mind traditions of Buddhism, these methods help you recognize the naturally pure and spacious nature of your mind.
Through step-by-step guidance from Mingyur Rinpoche, we begin to recognize the pure awareness that is present in every moment of experience, even when we are stressed out and overwhelmed with the challenges of daily life. Recognizing this pure awareness radically transforms how we see ourselves and experience the world. We come to know that we are not our thoughts, memories, or even the many roles we play in life. Pure awareness becomes our true home — a home imbued with confidence, joy, and inner freedom.

Why should I attend?
Do you feel drawn to Buddhist practices or want to learn more but don’t know where to begin? This webinar aims to demystify Tergar’s Path of Liberation program for those who are curious and serve as a helpful first step for those who feel ready to enter this path under the guidance of Mingyur Rinpoche.
In the Path of Liberation, all the teachings are given step by step. There are five levels, all of which explore the unity of awareness, love and compassion, and wisdom, which is within you and is what we call the “nature of mind.” By doing that, if you really practice again and again, then it becomes a deeper spiritual journey. And in the end, it can lead you to full enlightenment.
— Mingyur Rinpoche
