Lineage: The Living Stream of Teachings and Practice

Although our practice can seem very personal and unfold in unique ways, there is a long history of people in their lives who want to be happy and free from suffering and help benefit others. Through their own practice they have been able to free their minds from self created prisons. These beings add to a great legacy of teachings that are available to us that are tried and true.During this talk we will look at where the teachings and practices that Mingyur Rinpoche offers come from and how they intersect with our own distinctive conditions.
