Posted on by

A rare, intimate account of a world renowned Buddhist monk s near death experience and the life changing wisdom he gained from it One of the most inspiring books I have ever read Pema Ch dr n, author of When Things Fall ApartAt thirty six years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being.He immediately discovered that a lifetime of Buddhist education and practice had not prepared him to deal with dirty fellow travelers or the screeching of a railway car He found he was too attached to his identity as a monk to remove his robes right away and paid for a cheap hostel rather than sleep on the station floor in Varanasi But when he ran out of money, he began his life as an itinerant beggar in earnest Soon he became deathly ill from food poisoning and his journey took a startling turn His meditation practice had prepared him to face death, and now he had the opportunity to test the strength of his training.In this powerful and unusually candid account of the inner life of a Buddhist master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche offers us the invaluable lessons he learned from his near death experience By sharing with the reader the meditation practices that sustain him, he shows us how we can transform our fear of dying into joyful living.Advance praise for I n Love wIth the World In Love with the World is a magnificent story moving and inspiring, profound and utterly human It will certainly be a dharma classic Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche s life changing adventure carries us with him and teaches us how to find the unshakable heart amidst it all Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart Read In Love with the World By Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche – kino-fada.fr
