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 are living through a distraction epidemic.
Constant notifications. Endless information. A continuous pressure to keep up. Even when life appears successful on the outside, many of us feel mentally overloaded, scattered, and unable to truly rest.
On July 9, streamed live from London, Mingyur Rinpoche will offer a practical and deeply human response to one of the defining challenges of modern life.
Rather than teaching us how to eliminate distraction or force the mind into silence, Rinpoche introduces a different approach: learning how to work with our thoughts, emotions, and experiences through awareness. Drawing from decades of meditation practice, as well as insights supported by modern science, he shows how even distraction itself can become part of the path to greater clarity, resilience, and well-being.
Whether you're completely new to meditation or have an established practice, this live event will provide practical tools you can begin applying immediately in your daily life.
During this talk, you'll explore:
- Why distraction has become one of the greatest challenges of our time
- How awareness can help reduce stress and mental overwhelm
- Practical ways to work with thoughts and emotions without fighting them
- How to find more stability, clarity, and presence in everyday life
- Why meditation is not about changing who you are, but discovering what is already within you

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.
