Summary of Yongey Rinpoche Mingyur's The Joy of Living

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was haunted by feelings of fear and anxiety as a child. I was six years old when I first began to experience some relief from them, by climbing into the hills around my valley and exploring the caves where generations of Buddhist practitioners had spent their lives in meditation. #2 I began my formal Buddhist training when I was 12 years old. I was terrified, but I had a basic intellectual understanding of the real nature of my mind, and I didn't realize that the unshakable basis of serenity, confidence, and happiness was closer to me than my own eyes. #3 I learned that a three-year retreat program was about to begin at Sherab Ling monastery. The master of the retreat would be Saljay Rinpoche, one of my principal teachers at Sherab Ling. Saljay Rinpoche was considered one of the most accomplished masters of Tibetan Buddhism of his day. #4 I was 13 years old when I went to the retreat with Saljay Rinpoche. I was too young to tolerate the rigors of three years in retreat, but my father insisted that I participate, and Tai Situ Rinpoche granted me permission.
