Wandering…But Not Lost (12A)

Dir. Paul Macgowan | 2022 | 90 mins plus Guided Meditation 

Introduction from Teresa Stevens, student of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche for 16 years. Join us for a post-screening short, simple meditation session, guided by Teresa.

Under cover of darkness and with no word of his plans, much-beloved Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche walked away from his life on the international stage to live that of a wandering yogi. Unheard of among eminent teachers today, such a practice is filled with hardships. For Mingyur Rinpoche, these challenges—begging, finding food and shelter, illness, and all the related risks of wandering incognito from place to place with the barest of possessions—present fertile ground for deepening insight into the true nature of the mind.

Wandering . . . But Not Lost is an intimate account of Mingyur Rinpoche's four-and-a-half-year retreat interspersed with Rinpoche’s own guidance in applying Buddhist wisdom to our daily modern lives that will touch—and inspire—audiences everywhere.

"A beautiful ölm...it feels so powerfully appropriate for our time, displaying a path through disruption, loss, and continually dealing with the unexpected. It is a wonderful achievement." Sharon Salzburg, world-renowned Buddhist teacher.
