Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche<https://tergar.org/about/mingyur-rinpoche/>

Better psychological and physical health are often seen as the goals of meditation and mindfulness in our modern society, and it is scientifically proven that a sustained meditation practice can have these benefits. However, these ancient practices can have more far-reaching benefits.

Internationally recognized as a leading meditation master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is especially well-known for his ability to enrich his presentation of the ancient insights and practices of Tibetan Buddhism with the findings of modern science. In 2002, at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Mingyur Rinpoche, along with other long-term meditators, participated in ground-breaking research on the effects of meditation on the brains of advanced meditators. This seminal research made a key contribution to the explosion in the science of meditation and mindfulness and its current popularity. Mingyur Rinpoche continues to be involved in and contributes actively to the vibrant dialogue between Western science and Buddhism. He is an advisor to the Mind and Life Institute and participates as a research subject in the ongoing studies of the neural and physiological effects of meditation.

Mingyur Rinpoche has a clear, warm and humorous presentation style. He combines scientific knowledge with down-to-earth applied understanding. At the age of thirteen he trained himself to manage his panic attacks through meditation. In 2011, he disappeared from his monastery in India to become a wandering yogi for over four years. This is a rare opportunity to hear him speak in Montréal.
