Discovering Joy

I grew up in Mexico City, and currently live there. In College I studied biology and Philosophy of science. After some years of practicing and studying Buddhism, for graduated school I went to Maitripa College (in Oregon, USA) and did a MA in Buddhist Studies. More than 25 years ago I decided to dedicate my life to education, and I’ve been teaching ever since, because it’s my preferred way to contribute for a more harmonious society. I firmly believe that through meditation, not only we can make a radical change in our lives, but in the world itself.

Liliana Maravilla was first interested in meditation in 2016 after being introduced to it by Mingyur Rinpoche in a public talk in Puebla, Mexico. She felt an immediate connection to the wisdom and depth of the teachings and Rinpoche's relaxed and clear teaching style. Liliana is a psychologist and neuropsychologist who has worked with children with neurodevelopmental disorders and in the rehabilitation of adults with brain damage. She also is a practice leader at Tergar Puebla.

Since my first encounter with contemplative practices in 2006, I knew I had to integrate this valuable practices into my life. Inspired by my teachers, I felt called to share these tools with others. I became a certified facilitator with AtentaMente Consultores in 2020 and with Tergar International in 2025. I believe mindfulness is a powerful key to creativity and well-being. Passionate about travel, books, long walks, and nature, I continue to deepen my own path and my purpose is to share the practices that deeply transformed my own life.

Roberto Serrano began collaborating with Tergar Mexico in 2014. Among his activities with the community, the coordination of the translation teams has meant the sum of all his efforts to study and practice meditation. A sociologist by profession, Roberto is in constant training at Tergar to deepen his knowledge of the method and the way to approach the meditation technique through the programs offered by Tergar International.
