Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche on Discovering Your Innate Basic Goodness

How turning inward leads to freedom, joy, and self-realization

At the heart of every search for purpose, peace, or belonging lies a simple truth: you are already enough.

In this profound episode of Passion Struck, I sit down with Tibetan Buddhist master and beloved teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche to explore what he calls our innate basic goodness—the deep well of compassion, clarity, and joy that lives within each of us, no matter what we’ve been through.

Rinpoche shares his personal journey through anxiety and panic attacks, and how he used the tools of meditation, presence, and self-awareness to transform suffering into spiritual strength. Through his stories, science-backed insights, and ancient wisdom, I was reminded that the outer world isn’t an obstacle to peace—it’s often the very path to it. Our struggles, when met with mindfulness, can become doorways to presence.
