Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is the principal heart disciple of Guru Vajradhara the 12th Chamgon Tai Situpa. Rinpoche is himself a great master who not only possesses the unusual ability to present the profound Dharma teachings in an accessible way to all human beings by transcending religious, philosophical and cultural boundaries, but ground-breaking scientific research on the effects of meditation on the brain reported him to be the happiest person in the world. Rinpoche began this year's transmissions to disciples from all over the world at Palpung Sherabling Monastic Seat on November 15, 2019. Not only was this an auspicious date for this reason, but also because it was the anniversary of the day he was born into this world. To celebrate this joyful occasion, Palpung Sherabling Administration organised a birthday celebration at the Palpung Institute of Buddhist Studies that afternoon. Rinpoche presided the gathering that was attended by Chungpo Gyalton Rinpoche, Khenpos, present and former staff, representatives of various departments of the monastic seat, and all the international students. The celebration began with an elaborate dinner rounded off with a vast selection of cakes and sweets, followed by an offering of an ocean of melodious songs of meditative experiences and realisations.
