I had the pleasure today of interviewing Beth Korczynski, director of philanthropy for Tergar International, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s worldwide organization. Tergar’s reach extends worldwide, so it’s accessible to almost anyone at any level of experience in meditation and spiritual practice. The graphic below shows part of what’s available. You can learn more here.
Beth and I discussed:
Tergar’s culture of openness and transparency. The ethics of transparency.
The Anytime Anywhere Meditation program, which can help with meditation for people with any religious background. Tergar trains teachers for the program, and you may be able to find one in your area by using this list.
The Joy of Living program for a wide range of students and the Path of Liberation for those seeking to continue on a Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhist track.
The book and course A Meditator’s Guide to Buddhism for those wanting more.
The character and commitment of Mingyur Rinpoche. His efforts to reduce the suffering of all.
You can watch the 53-minute video by clicking on the arrow that’s blocking the view of Beth’s nose. And, I just noticed the three-and-a-half-minute summary from Mingyur Rinpoche, which I’ve added at the bottom of this post.
From the Pure Land has thousands of readers and subscribers in 39 U.S. states and 18 countries, and the podcast has thousands of listeners in 54 countries.
The Buddha emphasized the joy of giving. Dana is not meant to be obligatory or done reluctantly. Instead, dana should be performed when the giver is “delighted before, during, and after giving.” —Gil Fronsdal.
Consider being delighted by paying for your subscription even though you’ll receive the same regular content as those with a free subscription. For $5 a month or $50 a year, you’ll contribute to Mel’s expenses and see parts of his book Slicing and Dicing Buddhism as it progresses.
