Born in 1975 in Nubri, Nepal, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is an eminent meditation master among the new generation of Tibetan Buddhist teachers trained outside of Tibet. Mingyur Rinpoche teaches throughout the world, with centers on five continents. He is the author of The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness, which has been translated into more than twenty languages, as well as Turning Confusion into Clarity: A Guide to the Foundation Practices of Tibetan Buddhism and Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom.
“With this book, we enter into the interior life of a remarkable
young Buddhist teacher. After setting off by himself on a wandering
retreat, he immediately encounters fear, aversion, sickness, and
near death. Yet the same emotional and physical difficulties that
would throw the average person for a loop become opportunities for
Mingyur Rinpoche to work with his mind, and to deepen his
commitment to transforming adversity into awakening. His
willingness to describe this process in such intimate detail has
been an immense help to my own path, and makes this one of the most
inspiring books I have ever read.”—Pema Chödrön, author of When
Things Fall Apart
“One of the most generous, beautiful, and essential books I’ve ever
read—thoroughly engaging, so clear, so honest, so courageous and
full of wisdom. In it, deep Buddhist teachings are presented with
frankness and great clarity—like a friend talking to a friend. It
is also a great adventure story, really, about the most important
adventure any of us can ever embark upon: the story of one noble
soul attempting to come to an understanding of the workings of his
own mind and thereby live in a truly sane and loving way.”—George
Saunders, author of Lincoln in the Bardo
“Vivid, compelling . . . This book is a rarity in spiritual
literature: Reading the intimate story of this wise and devoted
Buddhist monk directly infuses our own transformational journey
with fresh meaning, luminosity, and life.”—Tara Brach, author of
Radical Acceptance and True Refuge
“In Love with the World is a magnificent story—moving and
inspiring, profound and utterly human. It will certainly be a
dharma classic.”—Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
“This slim book moved me and left me with a better appreciation of
Tibetan Buddhism than so many weightier tomes I’ve struggled to
understand.”—Barbara Demick, author of Nothing to Envy
“Readers seeking a deep exploration of Buddhist
philosophy will be richly rewarded by
Rinpoche’s thought-provoking and ultimately inspiring
story.”—Library Journal
“More than just a mesmerizing read . . . As Rinpoche narrates his
spiritual journey, he lays bare his early hopes and aspirations,
his doubts, indignities, bodily and emotional suffering, and
vulnerabilities. He offers these with great skill, clarity, and
love to encourage and inspire us to travel our own spiritual
journeys.”—Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real
Love
“Part thriller, part deeply personal autobiography, and part
Buddhist teachings on how to live a meaningful life, this is an
extraordinary book. It has something profoundly important to teach
each of us.”—Richard J. Davidson, author of The Emotional Life of
Your Brain
“Through the unfolding of the wisdom of his personal story, Mingyur
Rinpoche shows us the true value of investigating and freeing our
minds. A courageous trailblazer, he illuminates a clear path,
making it more accessible for others. This book will change many
lives.”—Tara Bennett-Goleman, author of Emotional Alchemy
