Meditation Group Details

Tergar Phoenix holds regular meditation groups for both the Joy of Living and Path of Liberation programs, including sessions that are open to anyone with an interest in learning more about the practice of meditation.

Tergar Meditation Group

We have two weekly meditation practice groups:

• Saturday, 9:30am to 11:00am – in English
• Sunday, 2:00pm to 4:00pm – in Chinese

The sessions are free and open to anyone who wishes to learn more about the practice of meditation, regardless of faith, culture, and background. Both sessions are facilitated by Tergar facilitators and are based on Mingyur Rinpoche’s Joy of Living study program, which combines guided meditations with group discussions, drawing upon Rinpoche’s books The Joy of Living and Joyful Wisdom. The meditation environment in these groups is simple, homey and un-intimidating.

Whether you are new to meditation and would like to learn more, or are a seasoned practitioner and would like to deepen your practice, please join us as we explore together the practice of mindfulness here in the Valley of the Sun!

Path of Liberation Meditation Group

Our Path of Liberation practice and study group is open to anyone who has attended Mingyur Rinpoche’s Mahamudra or Path of Liberation retreats, as well as those who have had prior Mahamudra instruction and have finished, or are presently practicing, the preliminary practices (Ngondro).

This group meets every Sunday from 9am to noon.

With the leadership of our resident teacher, Lama Trinley, or a Tergar facilitator, the group practices guided meditations on Mahamudra and other topics using Mingyur Rinpoche’s Path of Liberation curriculum.

Sessions are structured to accommodate and support all levels of this curriculum, with chants and recitations in Tibetan, followed in Chinese and English according to student’s language preference.
