Tergar Guide Maria Primachenko shares her journey from an intense advertising career to a healthier work-life balance, emphasizing self-care, mindfulness, and letting go of the need to act on every idea or be constantly heroic.

“When you’re grounded amid others’ suffering, you can help them in a different way. It’s better for them—and for yourself. You’re not afraid of coming up against a person’s suffering, but you don’t merge and identify with it, so you’re free.” – Micael Inês
“The invitation from Rinpoche, which can be found in the Joy of Living teachings, is this: can we learn to stay with the pull of craving in a way that’s balanced, open, and spacious.” – Stephanie Wagner
“I have had such a different mindset since I began practicing meditation. I didn’t believe in the power of meditation at first, but now I’m amazed by it — it’s real. I’ve really come to see the benefits of meditation!” – Yuki Kameda
“These seven ways can help us work with different mental disturbances and develop resilience. They’re good for physical and mental hygiene – and if they’re good for our health and mind, they’re good for our life.” – Mingyur Rinpoche
“The practice of meditation allows us to relax this misguided search for happiness in the objects of experience. It allows us to settle and connect with the unchanging peace, the natural wellbeing that is the very nature of mind itself.” – Tim Olmsted
