Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was born in the Himalayan border regions between Tibet and Nepal. He teaches throughout the world. His bestselling book, The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness, debuted on the New York Times bestseller list and has been translated into over twenty languages. In early June, 2011, Mingyur Rinpoche walked out of his monastery in Bodhgaya, India and began a 'wandering retreat' through the Himalayas and the plains of India that lasted four and a half years. When not attending to the monasteries under his care in India and Nepal, Rinpoche spends time each year travelling and teaching worldwide. He is the founder of Tergar International, a global organization devoted to helping meditation become a part of everyday life, and is also the author of Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom, In Love with the World, and A World of Difference.
