Using "Panic Attacks" for Meditation (video)


() Clip from the DVD "Joy of Living: A Public Talk"

In this talk, based on his groundbreaking first book, The Joy of Living (Harmony Books), Tibetan Buddhist teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche (Karma Kagyu lineage) invites us to join him in unlocking the secrets behind the practices of meditation.

Working with neuroscientists at the Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior, he provides clear insights into modern research indicating that systematic training in meditation can enhance activity in areas of the brain associated with happiness and compassion.

Mingyur Rinpoche has also worked with physicists across the country to develop a fresh, scientifically-based interpretation of the Buddhist understanding of the nature of reality.

Mingyur Rinpoche weaves together the principles of Tibetan Buddhism, neuroscience, and quantum physics in a way that is changing the way we understand the human experience.
