About this listen
A rare, intimate account of a world-renowned Buddhist monk’s near-death experience and the life-changing wisdom he gained as a result.
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s experience begins the night he has chosen to embark on a four-year wandering retreat, slipping past the monastery gates. Alone for the first time in his life, he sets out into the unknown. His initial motivation is to step away from his life of privilege and to explore the deepest, most hidden aspects of his being, but what he discovers throughout his retreat - about himself and about the world around us - comes to define his meditation practice and teaching.
Just three weeks into his retreat, Rinpoche becomes deathly ill, and his journey begins in earnest through this near-death experience. Moving, beautiful and suffused with local colour, In Love with the World is the story of two different kinds of death: that of the body and that of the ego, and how we can bridge these two experiences to live a better and more fulfilling life. Rinpoche’s skilful and intimate account of his search for the self is a demonstration of how we can transform our dread of dying into joyful living.

Beautiful and deeply reflective
What an incredible insight for Mingyur Rinpoche to share so freely his journey towards awakening. I found the story so easy to relate to, his way of explaining the Buddhist teachings in a way that landed clearly and simply. So much to reflect on and be grateful for - in every moment, everything we need is right here
