The deity’s body represents the indivisibility of emptiness and appearance; the mantra of each deity is the indivisibility of emptiness and sound; the deity’s mind is the indivisibility of emptiness and awareness.
— The 3rd Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche
Can I get access to a recording of this event?
Recordings of the teaching sessions will be posted within 1 week after the end of the last session and will be available for two months. Simply log in to the events page to access the recordings. However, please note that you are required to attend all teachings live or by official restream if this is your first time attending this level of the Path of Liberation. This is because the event includes transmissions that can only be received live.

White Tara represents the enlightened qualities of all awakened beings. Connecting with these profound characteristics in her can help us unlock our own true nature and intrinsic qualities. During this program, Mingyur Rinpoche will introduce the White Tara practice and the profound methods that use the imagination as a tool for awakening. These practices will be based on the liturgy that Rinpoche composed — Radiance of the Heart.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
Do you wish to go deeper on the Vajrayana path? Do you want to learn about using the imagination as a tool for awakening? During this retreat, Mingyur Rinpoche will teach us ways to connect more deeply with our true nature through the practice of White Tara. This practice has the potential to undermine our habitual view of ourselves and the world as impure, and instead open our minds to the world’s true beauty, as it is.
If you have already attended a Path of Liberation Level 5 retreat, we strongly encourage you to join this year’s retreat as well. Mingyur Rinpoche always keeps the teachings and instructions fresh, offering guided meditations and clarifying important points of the White Tara practice.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
In this program, you will:
- deepen your understanding of the nature of mind
- learn techniques included in the White Tara practice
- explore the imagination as a tool for awakening
- learn core elements of development stage practice
- learn the practice of the White Tara liturgy, Radiance of the Heart

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION:
To have attended Path of Liberation Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 and completed the corresponding practice requirements AND to have received a White Tara empowerment from a lineage lama.

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.
About Lama Trinley
Lama Trinley has been the resident teacher at the Tergar Mingjue Phoenix Center since November, 2007. Lama Trinley began his education at Tergar Monastery, where he studied the rituals, prayers, and other traditional practices of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He entered the traditional three-year retreat when he was seventeen years old, after which he spent six years training in the monastic college of Tergar Monastery, where he taught for three years as assistant professor. His command of English and his humble and gentle demeanor make him easily accessible to newcomers and experienced meditators alike.
About Khenpo Gyurmé Wangchen
Khenpo Gyurmé ordained as a monk at Tergar Monastery, Nepal, at the age of six. There he completed the primary monastic education, studying Tibetan language, Buddhist ritual, and philosophy. Following his training at Tergar Monastery, he was sent to Sherabling Monastery, the seat of Tai Situ Rinpoche, to complete nine years of formal Tibetan Buddhist College (shedra). After graduating from the shedra, he taught for three years and eventually was granted the title of Khenpo, a recognition of his scholarly accomplishment and contribution to monastic education. Khenpo Gyurmé has also studied meditation extensively with Tai Situ Rinpoche and Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.
Khenpo Gyurmé is continuing his practice as the Principal of Education at Osel Ling Monastery in Nepal and has been teaching there for the past thirteen years. He is responsible for coordinating and overseeing more than 180 young monks' studies and teaching monastic and lay students, thus playing a very significant role in the development of the monastery. As the Abbot of the monastery, he is devoted to educational development and to supporting Buddhist practitioners along their path.
