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.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row u_row_style=”0″ lms_row_has_bk_offset=”0″ lms_row_bk_columns_offset=”0″ u_row_enrollment_restriction=”0″ lms_row_bk_offset_margin_bottom=”5%” el_class=”mb-5″][vc_column width=”5\/6″ lms_has_clearfix=”0″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8 vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1715278214497{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”]Mingyur Rinpoche\u2019s first book, The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness<\/em>, debuted on the New York Times<\/em> bestseller list and has been translated into over twenty languages.
