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
We hope you will join us for this exploration of the path of compassionate action ” the intention alone to benefit all beings, has such power that as you work with it, your mind will become stronger, your mental afflictions will diminish; you’ll be more skillful in helping other beings; and in so doing, you’ll create the causes and conditions for your own well-being.” -Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
