      Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's experience begins the night he has chosen to embark on a four-year wandering retreat, slipping past the monastery gates. Alone for the first time in his life, he sets out into the unknown. His initial motivation is to step away from his life of privilege and to explore the deepest, most hidden aspects of his being, but what he discovers throughout his retreat - about himself and about the world around us - comes to define his meditation practice and teaching.Just three weeks into his retreat, Rinpoche becomes deathly ill and his journey begins in earnest through this near-death experience. Moving, beautiful and suffused with local colour, Wandering is the story of two different kinds of death: that of the body and that of the ego, and how we can bridge these two experiences to live a better and more fulfilling life. Rinpoche's skilful and intimate account of his search for the self is a demonstration of how we can transform our dread of dying into joyful living.

      Ziji is a noisy, bouncy puppy who lives with the Anderson family: Mom, Dad, Jenny, and Baby Jack. He loves to bark and play and--most of all--chase pigeons in the park. Then one day, Ziji sees a new boy from Jenny's school, Nico, sitting in the park. What is Nico doing? Why does he look so calm and happy? Ziji can't wait to find out.

    • In this remarkable sequel to his book, The Joy of Living, Buddhist scholar and teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche explores the role of positive thinking and how to overcome anxiety in everyday life. Joyful Wisdom is divided into three parts, the way traditional Buddhist texts are organized- * Part One offers an overview of the basic unease we feel, how it evolved, its true source. * Part Two describes the methods of meditation that transforms our experiences into deeper insights. *Part Three explores the application of these methods to emotional, physical, and personal problems. Each chapter is underlined by examples drawn from Yongey Mingyur's personal experience, the stories of friends and teachers, and in particular the conversations with people he's met during the 12 years he has spent teaching around the world.

    • Der vom Dalai Lama erwählte jüngste tibetisch-buddhistische Meister berichtet: Eine spannende Mischung aus Autobiographie, Meditationstechniken und neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen.Mingyur Rinpoche lebte als Exiltibeter zunächst in Indien. Bereits mit 17 Jahren jüngster tibetischer Meditationsmeister, galt er als „Wunderkind“. Als der Dalai Lama vor Jahren gebeten wurde, für umfangreiche neurologische Untersuchungen über die Wirkung von Meditation einen Kandidaten zu benennen, fiel seine Wahl auf Mingyur Rinpoche. Die Genialität des vorliegenden Buches liegt vor allem in seiner Fähigkeit, wissenschaftliche Genauigkeit mit verständlichen, teils humorvollen Erklärungen der buddhistischen Perspektive und praktischen Unterweisungen zu verbinden. Neben seiner philosophischen Perspektive finden wir erprobte Meditationsanleitungen, die neugierig machen auf die „Früchte“ am Ende des Weges.
