How a great meditation teacher dealt with his panic attacks

How a great meditation teacher dealt with his panic attacks

It’s always inspiring to hear real life stories of people who have found successful ways of dealing with difficult trauma symptoms.  In this case, Yongey Mingur Rinpoche doesn’t have a trauma history but encountered extreme panic attacks during a three year retreat.   He speaks of using panic as a support for meditation.

His humorous story of being in a retreat room, which he said is “like a hotel but no stars”  is told here in this video clip.
