Our precious guru's second book "Joyful Wisdom" is due out
April 7, 2009. We will have books available for you to purchase during
his stay in May. 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.
