Teaching focus
Belousov's core teaching draws on shamatha, analytical meditation, deity practice. The frame is the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition with its layered approach to sutra and tantra, but the language stays plain. Belousov doesn't lecture from height. The talks tend to think alongside whatever's actually present in the room. Recurring themes include bodhicitta, emptiness, and tonglen. None of those get presented as abstract ideas. They're worked into the body, into ethics, into how a practitioner shows up in family life or at work, so that the dharma stops feeling like a separate compartment. There's a steady invitation in the talks to keep practice human-sized. Sit when you can, return when you've drifted, and trust that small consistent attention does more over the years than dramatic breakthroughs. Format-wise, Belousov teaches in in-person, online, group, and the tone moves easily between guided sittings, dharma talks, and Q&A. Questions tend to get answered the way they were asked, without being reframed into something cleaner. That alone tells you a lot about how the room feels.
Background
Aleksey Belousov teaches Wushu and health practices including Tai Chi and Qigong. He began meditating in childhood through Wushu training and pursued formal meditation study after meeting Mingyur Rinpoche in 2016. He is a practice leader with Tergar and leads a meditation group in Yekaterinburg, Russia. He also develops online courses for Tergar Russia. Beyond Mingyur Rinpoche, he has received teachings from Tai Situ Rinpoche, the 14th Dalai Lama, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, and Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. Aleksey is a teacher of Wushu and health practices (Taichi, Qigong). He has been interested in meditation since childhood, and his first experience of meditation was during Wushu classes. He began to study and practice meditation in depth after meeting Mingyur Rinpoche in 2016. The benefits he received from the practice inspired him to become a practice leader at Tergar. He currently leads a group in Yekaterinburg and also works on online courses for Tergar Russia. In addition to receiving teachings from Mingyur Rinpoche, he has received teachings from Tai Situ Rinpoche, the 14th Dalai Lama, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, and others. Belousov's teaching home is Tergar, where the practice community shapes the rhythm of retreats, sittings, and dharma talks. That work sits within the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition with its layered approach to sutra and tantra, and the recurring concerns of Belousov's teaching, ethical foundation, steady attention, and the slow softening of habitual reactivity, echo the older texts without sounding distant from a 21st-century practitioner's life. What stands out across Belousov's talks isn't a single technique but a steadying tone. Practice is treated as something built slowly, in ordinary life, with care. There's room for the difficulties practitioners actually bring into the room, grief, restlessness, the body's complaints, family obligations, and the encouragement is consistent without being pushy.
Lineage
Belousov teaches within the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition with its layered approach to sutra and tantra. Current affiliations include Tergar. The lineage shows up less in titles than in the way Belousov talks about practice, with steady reference to the older Buddhist vocabulary while keeping the door open for people who've never read a sutra. Whether that framing lands as monastic or lay depends on the specific talk, but the consistent thread is care for the form without letting the form become the point.
What to expect
Sitting with Belousov, you can expect grounded instruction in shamatha, with space to ask questions and bring whatever's actually showing up in your practice. Online sessions tend to keep the same shape, shorter sits, a talk, and time for Q&A, in a format that's accessible from home. Group settings have a community feel without becoming social. People sit, listen, and check in. The teaching voice is steady. Belousov won't push you past your edge, and there's a clear preference for slow, sustainable practice over breakthrough chasing. Bring a notebook if you like, or don't. Either way, you'll be met where you are.
