Meditation enables us to discover a lasting contentment that is not subject to the fluctuating conditions of our lives, and to nurture the qualities of wisdom and compassion that naturally manifest from awareness itself.

The Joy of Living is a secular path of meditation practice that nurtures basic functions of the mind, such as mindful awareness and the movements toward happiness and away from suffering. In working with these qualities of mind, we gradually transform our relationship to present-moment experience, learning to approach our thoughts, feelings, and sensory experiences with unconditional warmth and acceptance.
This workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn this accessible approach to meditation from Mingyur Rinpoche. Rinpoche will share practical advice on using meditation to cultivate awareness, compassion, and wisdom, sharing insights from his own experience and illuminating key points on meditation practice. We will also review Awareness Yoga, a series of simple physical exercises where we bring mind and body together. Each day will include teachings from Mingyur Rinpoche and short periods of guided meditation and discussion with Senior Tergar Instructor Myoshin Kelley.
This program is suitable for both novice and experienced meditators.
在日常生活中培养觉知，慈悲和智慧
禅修使我们能够发现一种持久的满足感。这种满足感不会受我们生活中各种变化的影响。禅修同时会培养出由觉性本身自然展现出来的智慧和慈悲的品质。开心禅是一个不带宗教色彩的禅修课程。它会引领我们对心的基本功能进行培养，例如正念觉知和如何离苦得乐。通过在这些心的特质上下功夫，我们就能渐渐转变我们对当下的体验，学着去以无条件温和接纳的心态对待我们的念头，情绪，和感官知觉。
这个课程提供了一个难得的机会，从明就仁波切这里学习合宜的禅修方法。 仁波切将分享运用禅修培养觉知，慈悲和智慧的实用建议，从他自己的经验中分享见解和阐释禅修练习的关键点。我们还将复习觉知瑜伽，通过一系列简单的身体的运动将我们身和心结合在一起。 每天的课程都包括明就仁波切的教导和德噶资深辅导员Myoshin Kelley短时间的禅修指导和讨论。
这个课程对初学者和有经验的禅修者都适合。
