Under the guidance of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, the Tergar Meditation Practice Group of Bozeman gathers to study and practice meditation. Mingyur Rinpoche’s approach to meditation focuses on the practice of mindful awareness, which unlocks the door to a calm mind, compassionate heart, and insight into the challenges of day-to-day life. Rinpoche’s teachings emphasize universal principles that are of profound benefit to people of all faiths and belief systems. 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. Each session will include guided meditation and group discussion.

Monthly Session Topics
Tergar’s Joy of Living With newly revised material and videos.
Tergar’s Joy of Living is a curriculum developed by Mingyur Rinpoche and Tergar International. Our Leaders present these materials weekly.
We learn, contemplate and meditate to become familiar with our mind, to open our hearts and to fully develop the wisdom of knowing we are whole and complete just as we are…we are not broken, in knowing this we see its true also of all others.

“We are not training in order to learn about objects. We are training to learn about our mind, because our mind holds the source of all possibilities—good and bad, happy and sad, sane and neurotic. Freedom exists within our very own heart and mind.” ~Mingyur Rinpoche

Releasing the Knot of the Mind with Anam Thubten Saturday
2026-11-14 10:00 - 17:00 | Triple Tree Owner’s Center, 58 Triple Tree Road, Bozeman, 59715, United States
Releasing the Knot of the Mind
A Meditation Retreat with Anam Thubten
Nov 13-15
In Person

Our human mind can easily become entangled in its own creations—concepts, beliefs, and emotional patterns. When this happens, the mind contracts, as if bound by a tight internal knot. This knot generates unnecessary suffering and obscures mind’s true nature. Yet within the mind lies the ability to unwind this knot and reveal its original, spacious nature—one that is intrinsically free, awake, and compassionate.
The Nyingma teachings of Tibetan Buddhism offer profound methods for experiencing the self liberation of mind in the realm of now. In this retreat, Anam Thubten will offer teachings and guided meditations based on the teachings of Dzogchen masters such as Dudjom Lingpa.
This retreat willl draw on teachings from Anam Thubten’s new book, Releasing the Knot of the Mind: Instructions on Resting in Stillness and Awareness, available from Shambhala Publications.
The retreat will be held at the Triple Tree Owner Center on 58 Triple Tree Rd, Bozeman, on Saturday Nov 14 and Sunday Nov 15 from 10-5 each day. To honor the sacred container of this retreat, everyone is asked to attend the entire retreat, concluding Sunday at 5 pm.
There will be a separate public talk on Friday, Nov 13 at Pilgrim Congregational Church at 2118 S. 3rd Ave in Bozeman. Cost is a suggested donation of $20. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. There will be plenty of seating. Do not bring a cushion for the Friday night talk but bring cushions (if you have them) to the retreat on Saturday and Sunday.
