Our precious guru's second book "Joyful Wisdom" was released in April of 2009. We have books available for you to purchase at the center. Below is a description on his new book from the publisher.

The author of the internationally acclaimed The Joy of Living teaches us how to overcome the problems of everyday life and experience a profound sense of well-being. Yongey Mingyur is one of the most celebrating among the new generation of Tibetan meditation masters, whose teachings have touched people of all faiths around the world. "From the 2,500-year-old perspective of Buddhism," he writes, "every chapter in human history could be described as an 'age of anxiety.' The anxiety we feel now has been part of the human condition for centuries." So what do we do? Escape or succumb? Both routes inevitably lead to more complications and problems in our lives. "Buddhism," says Yongey Mingyur, "offers a third option: We can look directly at the disturbing emotions and other problems we experience in our lives as stepping stones to freedom. Instead of rejecting them or surrendering to them, we can befriend them, working through them to reach an enduring authentic experience of our inherent wisdom, confidence, clarity, and joy."
Divided into 3 parts like a traditional Buddhist text, JOYFUL WISDOM identifies the sources of our unease, describes methods of meditation that enable us to transform our experience into deeper insight, and applies these methods to common emotional, physical, and personal problems. JOYFUL WISDOM is wise, anecdotal, funny, informed, and graced with the author's irresistible charm.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a celebrated Tibetan Buddhist master, deeply versed in the practical and philosophical disciplines of the ancient tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
