In this groundbreaking book, world-renowned Buddhist teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche invites us to join him in unlocking the secrets behind the practice of meditation. With an infectious joy and insatiable curiosity, he weaves together the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, neuroscience, and quantum physics in a way that will forever change the way we understand the human experience.

Divided into three parts like a traditional Buddhist text, Joyful Wisdom identifies the sources of our unease, describes methods of meditation that enable us to transform our experience into deeper insight, and applies these methods to common emotional, physical, and personal problems. The result is a work at once wise, anecdotal, funny, informed, and graced with the author's irresistible charm.

By offering detailed instruction and friendly, inspiring advice for those embarking on the Tibetan Buddhist foundation practices, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche provides gentle yet thorough commentary, companionship, and inspiration for committing to the Vajrayana path.

At 36 years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries. Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being.

Som 36-årig er Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche allerede en verdenskendt tibetansk meditationsmester og den respekterede abbed for tre klostre. Han har rejst jorden rundt for at undervise i meditation og give buddhistiske belæringer og har siden sin barndom levet en beskyttet tilværelse og nydt stor anseelse. En nat lister han ud af sit kloster uden at sige det til nogen. Han ønsker at følge den ældgamle buddhistiske tradition som tiggermunk og vil tilbringe de næste fire år på gaden som omvandrende munk.
