Can meditation actually change your brain for greater well-being? In this month’s teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche shares his unique perspective on the intersection of modern science and ancient meditation. Having famously participated in neurological research as a scientific “guinea pig,” Rinpoche explores how training the mind physically transforms the brain.

Sharing fascinating personal stories of his experience with this research, Rinpoche details the inspiring, real-world results that scientists discovered when studying his brain — providing scientific evidence that we aren’t stuck with our default habits, stress, or anxiety. By tapping into our innate qualities of awareness, love and compassion, and wisdom, meditation is a time-tested path to experiencing a lasting, deep sense of well-being.
