In this episode, Axel speaks with Mingyur Rinpoche about life’s transitions and how to live a more present life.
Mingyur Rinpoche is a Tibetan lama and world-renowned meditation teacher who combines traditional Buddhist wisdom with modern neuroscience. He began meditating as a child under the guidance of his father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. Mingyur overcame severe panic attacks through meditation, an experience that continues to inform his teachings. He leads the global Tergar Meditation Community and collaborates with scientists such as Richard Davidson to study the effects of meditation on the brain. His bestselling books include In Love with the World: A Monk’s Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying, which explores how practice can transform suffering into freedom and joy.
