Joyful Wisdom by Yongey Mingur Rinpoche
Summer Book Club with Tergar Meditation Community
This summer the Tergar MSP Book Club will explore the book, Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.
Joyful Wisdom addresses the timely and timeless problem of anxiety in our everyday lives. Divided into three parts like a traditional Buddhist text, Joyful Wisdom identifies the sources of our unease, describes methods of meditation that enable us to transform our experience into deeper insight, and applies these methods to common emotional, physical, and personal problems. The book club is led by Tergar MSP practice leaders Jeanne Lakso and Stephanie Wagner and is open to all that would like to join. Each session is composed of optional tea/social time, meditation, and discussion about themes found within the book. Please feel free to join any or all of the sessions.
More information will be sent at a later date with specific topics covered during each session.
