MIND TO MIND

What Is a Transmission?

Write your awesome label here.
Transmission holds a profound place in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Preserved in an unbroken lineage from teacher to student since the time of the Buddha, transmissions represent living expressions of the deepest truths that we gain through meditation. Since 2019, Mingyur Rinpoche has generously imparted a complete lineage transmission to our community following a rich three-year cycle, progressing through Sutra, Tantra, and Nature of Mind teachings.

Tergar is committed to making the benefits of Buddhist teachings and practices available to everyone. If the membership rate of $29 USD per month is a hindrance for you financially, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via volsupport@tergar.org to ask for a further reduced rate. We offer financial assistance rates for certain countries, for students with limited budgets, and for the monastic community.
The guru or teacher is of utmost importance because of the interdependent connection between teacher and disciple. The Buddha who lived thousands of years ago cannot guide us to our own buddhahood as effectively and expediently as the guru. The living teacher embodies the wisdom of the practice lineage and functions like a lit lamp that has the energetic power to ignite the mind of the student. If you make a connection, you will get lit, too. This is what we call transmission.
—  Mingyur Rinpoche
