Like riding a bike without training wheels for the first time, a simple teaching from Mingyur Rinpoche unlocked a path of freedom, carrying one meditator across continents, through crisis, and into the heart of awareness—where teaching others became the greatest joy of all.
“Buddhist wisdom says that life consists of suffering, but lasting strength is found in resilience. In knowing you can handle whatever comes your way. Not because you’re invincible, but because you’ve learned how to suffer well. And suffering well begins with facing yourself, by embracing the messy yet beautifully complex aspects of being human.” – Chris Pacheco
“Whether you’re sitting on a meditation cushion or standing on a stage, the key ingredients are surprisingly similar: stay present, keep it real, and don’t forget to laugh.” – Beth Schumann Korczynski
“Practicing meditation and stepping onto the BJJ mat serve the same purpose: to wake up to who we truly are. The lessons of awareness, resilience, and courage travel back and forth between these two worlds, enriching both.” – Justin Ralph
“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
