In this interview, Mingyur Rinpoche shares about his 4 1/2 years on a wandering retreat and the lessons he learned from a near-death experience. The two then talk about what it means to befriend panic as well as other strong emotions, and the qualities that express our intrinsic awareness. They also talk about compassion for our world, the evolution of consciousness, and the value of hope.
This joyful talk illuminates the practice of resting in present moment awareness. His experience being studied in an FMRI is also recounted, with the results of recent academic studies on meditation practice.
