Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master and best-selling author who is using the internet to build a thriving meditation community and share information on meditation, based on its role in helping him overcome debilitating panic attacks and anxiety.
“Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche possesses a rare ability to present the ancient wisdom of Tibet in a fresh, engaging manner. His profound yet accessible teachings and playful sense of humor have endeared him to students around the world. Most uniquely, Rinpoche’s teachings weave together his own personal experiences with modern scientific research, relating both to the practice of meditation.”
Along with providing his video here, I also wanted to point you to a classic text on the essence of Buddhist meditation
from Nyanaponika Thera and published by DailyOM, with an introduction from noted author and teacher Sylvia Boorstein. Although the Buddha lived over 2,500 years ago, his teachings on meditation are among the most effective methods for healing the pain of grief, finding inner peace, and overcoming the sense of dislocation caused by living in the 21st century. Mindfulness is a method not only for committed Buddhists… it is for everyone interested in mastering the mind.
