About this episode
This episode of the Wisdom Podcast , recorded live as a Wisdom Dharma Chat, features a conversation with beloved teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. Rinpoche and host Daniel Aitken discuss practice during lockdown (this episode was recorded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic), working with anxiety and stress, how to choose which teachings to follow, how to understand the nature of your mind, how Rinpoche structures his teachings for his students, and much more.
