Is just listening enough, or do we need to do something more? Mingyur Rinpoche answers these common questions by explaining the relationship between sound and awareness. He clarifies that while listening to our favorite tracks on Spotify can calm the mind, true meditation happens when we recognize the innate awareness that perceives the sound. Through numerous examples, Rinpoche explains how to join music (the object) and meditation (awareness) together, revealing how anything — from a beautiful song to the noise of traffic — can become a support for our practice. 🔗 Joy of Living Meditation Program: Learn meditation under the skillful guidance of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche at your own pace. https://joy.tergar.org/ 🔗 Vajrayana Online: Study and practice of the Tibetan Buddhism with Mingyur Rinpoche. https://vajrayana.tergar.org/ 🔗Online events, retreats with Mingyur Rinpoche https://events.tergar.org/ 🔗 About Tergar Path: https://tergar.org/programs/
