In Love with the World

A Monk's Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying
Book • 2019
In this book, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche recounts his journey as a Tibetan monk who left his protected monastic life to live as a wandering beggar.

He describes his experiences navigating the harsh realities of street life, including near-death encounters, and how he applied Buddhist teachings to overcome fear and attachment.

The book delves into Tibetan Buddhist practices such as recognizing impermanence, cultivating compassion, and experiencing the bardos (transitional states between life and death).

Through his story, Rinpoche illustrates the importance of letting go of attachments and finding love and acceptance in the present moment.
