Cape Town’s Cathedral Welcomes Mingyur Rinpoche
Beneath the vaulted stone arches of St George’s Cathedral — the sanctuary where South Africa’s story of reconciliation took root — world‑renowned meditation master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche makes his first South‑African appearance.
Join faith‑keepers, seekers, and curious hearts for a luminous evening of prayer, teaching, meditation, and choral devotion. Let the choir’s four‑part harmonies of “Om Mani Padme Hum” echo through the nave while Rinpoche guides us toward the timeless wellspring of compassion that unites every tradition.
Come stand where history was made, and help write the next chapter of shared humanity — together, in song and stillness.
Meditation That Meets Real Life
Mingyur Rinpoche is known for making meditation deeply accessible — offering tools to face stress, cultivate clarity, and live with greater presence and meaning.
His teachings are grounded in centuries-old Tibetan tradition, enriched by modern neuroscience and shaped by his own personal journey — including overcoming panic attacks and a near-death experience during a wandering retreat.
