Living Everyday Like a Wandering Retreat
Beloved Tibetan Buddhist Meditation teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche spent four-and-a-half years as a wandering yogi—no shelter, no food, relying solely on the generosity of those he met on his travels to keep him going.
Wandering . . . But Not Lost, our Film Club pick for November, is an intimate account of this journey from 2011 to 2015, interspersed with Mingyur Rinpoche’s wise guidance for daily life. Highlighting the highs and lows of the trip, including a near death experience, Mingyur Rinpoche recounts the insight he gained as a result of it all. “The entire path is a shift in perception,” he says.
Director Paul MacGowen hopes that the film can help us view “our normal daily lives [as] a kind of ‘wandering retreat.’ We can bring that attitude of adventure to even the most mundane aspects of our lives and thereby experience the world in an open and fresh way. Through this mindset, we can grow and develop ourselves. Who wouldn’t want to embrace the full experience of life—whatever the outward circumstances?”
Immerse yourself in the wandering journey of Mingyur Rinpoche and bring this mindset into your own life. Subscribers can watch the film now through December 1—watch it here! |
