Ter is a Tibetan word for treasure,  Gar means gathering.  So, Tergar can be understood as a place where people come together to find the sublime treasure … that helps us calm our minds, open our hearts and awaken wisdom.

We are a practice group within the Tergar International Meditation Community under the guidance of Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. Based on the Joy of Living teachings of Mingyur Rinpoche, our weekly meditation group explores awareness meditation techniques designed to calm the mind, open the heart, and awaken wisdom. Each week we will explore a different topic, using guided meditations, video teachings from Rinpoche, short readings from his first book, The Joy of Living, as well as group discussion and ways to apply these practices to daily life.  

We are using Mingyur Rinpoche’s book The Joy of Living as a supplement to our sessions to give greater context to the practices we share.   It can be purchased by order at Country Bookshelf or online at Amazon.

If you are new to meditation and would like to learn more, or if you are a seasoned practitioner and would like to deepen your practice, please join us as we learn how to transform the challenges of day-to-day life into sources of joy and inner peace. Mingyur Rinpoche’s teachings offer a fresh, accessible approach to these ancient practices. Drop in any time. All are welcome.


Monthly Session Topics

Beginning Feb 28 to May 1st we will do a “deep dive” into “Opening the Heart” – Loving-kindness and Compassion practices.

When meditating on loving-kindness and compassion, we begin by learning to appreciate ourselves which enables us to understand the basic human desires to be happy and free from suffering. This lays the foundation for cultivating loving-kindness and compassion for others, through which we develop a deeply connected relationship with all life. 

During these months we will deeply practice lovinging kindness and compassion for Oneself, for a Loved one, for a Difficult one, and for Neutral ones/All Beings.  

All are welcome to join us in this exploration of these beautiful teachings and practices.  

Those who are subscribed to our weekly newsletter will receive additional information and practice tools related to the topic.

Monthly Session Topics

Beginning Feb 28 to May 1st we will do a “deep dive” into “Opening the Heart” – Loving-kindness and Compassion practices.

When meditating on loving-kindness and compassion, we begin by learning to appreciate ourselves which enables us to understand the basic human desires to be happy and free from suffering. This lays the foundation for cultivating loving-kindness and compassion for others, through which we develop a deeply connected relationship with all life. 

During these months we will deeply practice lovinging kindness and compassion for Oneself, for a Loved one, for a Difficult one, and for Neutral ones/All Beings.  

All are welcome to join us in this exploration of these beautiful teachings and practices.  

Those who are subscribed to our weekly newsletter will receive additional information and practice tools related to the topic.

Ter is a Tibetan word for treasure,  Gar means gathering.  So, Tergar can be understood as a place where people come together to find the sublime treasure … that helps us calm our minds, open our hearts and awaken wisdom.

We are a practice group within the Tergar International Meditation Community under the guidance of Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. Based on the Joy of Living teachings of Mingyur Rinpoche, our weekly meditation group explores awareness meditation techniques designed to calm the mind, open the heart, and awaken wisdom. Each week we will explore a different topic, using guided meditations, video teachings from Rinpoche, short readings from his first book, The Joy of Living, as well as group discussion and ways to apply these practices to daily life.  

We are using Mingyur Rinpoche’s book The Joy of Living as a supplement to our sessions to give greater context to the practices we share.   It can be purchased by order at Country Bookshelf or online at Amazon.

If you are new to meditation and would like to learn more, or if you are a seasoned practitioner and would like to deepen your practice, please join us as we learn how to transform the challenges of day-to-day life into sources of joy and inner peace.
