Meet Tergar Int'l Founder Yongey Mingyur RinpocheMingyur Rinpoche 

 
Born in 1975 in the Himalayan border regions between Tibet and Nepal, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a rising star among the new generation of Tibetan Buddhist masters. From a young age, Rinpoche was drawn to a life of contemplation. He spent many years of his childhood in strict retreat. At the age of seventeen, he was invited to be a teacher at his monastery's three-year retreat center, a position rarely held by such a young lama. He also completed the traditional Buddhist training in philosophy and psychology, before founding a monastic college at his home monastery in north India. Rinpoche possesses a rare ability to present the ancient wisdom of Tibetin 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 personal experiences with modern scientific research, relating both to the practice of meditation.
