No matter how trapped we may feel by anxiety, depression, or guilt, there is always another option available to us, and one that doesn’t ask us to stop feeling what we already feel or to stop being who and what we are. When we know where to look, and how to look, we can find peace of mind in the midst of raging emotions, profound insight in the midst of complete confusion, and the seeds of compassion in our darkest moments, even when we feel completely lost and alone.
— Mingyur Rinpoche

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.
Lama Trinley ist seit November 2007 der Resident Lama im Tergar Mingjue Meditationszentrum in Phoenix. Lama Trinley begann seine Ausbildung im Tergar Kloster, wo er Rituale, Gebete und andere Praxismethoden der tibetisch-buddhistischen Tradition studierte. Im Alter von siebzehn Jahren begann er ein traditionelles Drei-Jahres-Retreat. Danach studierte er sechs Jahre an der Tergar Klosteruniversität, wo er auch drei Jahre als Assistenzlehrer unterrichtete. Seine guten Englischkenntnisse und sein bescheidenes und sanftes Auftreten sprechen gleichermaßen Neulinge als auch erfahrene Meditierende an.
Khenpo Gyurmé wurde im Alter von sechs Jahren im Tergar-Kloster in Nepal zum Mönch geweiht. Dort erhielt er eine grundlegende monastische Ausbildung einschließlich des Studiums der tibetischen Sprache, buddhistischer Rituale und Philosophie. Im Anschluss wurde er ins Kloster Sherabling, dem Sitz von Tai Situ Rinpoche, geschickt, um dort neun Jahre lang an der Klosteruniversität (Shedra) zu studieren. Nach Abschluss der Shedra unterrichtete er drei Jahre lang selbst und erhielt schließlich den Titel eines Khenpo in Anerkennung seiner wissenschaftlichen Leistungen und seines Beitrags zur monastischen Bildung. Khenpo Gyurmé konnte sich außerdem unter Anleitung von Tai Situ Rinpoche und Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche intensiv mit Meditation beschäftigen.
Khenpo Gyurmé setzt seine Praxis nun als Leiter des Klosters Osel Ling in Nepal fort und unterrichtet dort seit dreizehn Jahren. Er ist für die Betreuung von mehr als 180 jungen Mönchen verantwortlich und unterrichtet sowohl Ordinierte als auch Laien und trägt damit maßgeblich zu Erfolg und Entwicklung des Klosters bei. Als Abt des Klosters widmet er sich der pädagogischen Entwicklung und der Unterstützung von buddhistischen Praktizierenden auf ihrem Pfad.
