"To meditate on self-awareness, just be aware of your mind—without any opinions or beliefs. If you do that, your thoughts will naturally disappear. Just watch—be aware. Focus simply on what is there. If while meditating you recognize that you are following your thoughts, be aware of that. Let it go. If you don't follow your thoughts, you'll notice that your mind is calm and relaxed—then, be there. Don't look for something special. Just be aware of everything as it is. By doing that again and again, you'll be self-aware and discover your buddha nature—your inner peace. This is a very simple meditation, but I find it to be profound. And, if you're lucky, you'll discover your true nature of mind." —Khenpo Sherab Sangpo

Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage, offered teachings from his book "The Heart of Tibetan Buddhism—Advice for Life, Death, and Enlightenment" on The Four Noble Truths, Buddha Nature, and The Guru-Disciple Relationship and How to Receive Empowerments, along with guided meditations on self-awareness and the union of shamatha and vipashyana.

Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage, offered teachings on "Advice for a Dying Practitioner" by Dodrupchen Jigmé Tenpé Nyima (1865-1926), whose father was Dudjom Lingpa, a great Dzogchen yōgin. Dodrupchen Jigmé Tenpé Nyima received teachings from Patrül Rinpoché, Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo, Mingyur Namkhé Dorjé, Dzogchen Khenpo Pema Vajra, Mipham Rinpoché, and Jamgön Kongtrul.

He wrote a concise commentary on the general meaning of the "Guhyagarbha Tantra" called "Key to the Precious Treasury" which is a profound guide to the teachings and practices of Mahāyoga.

The short text for this retreat consists of essential advice on how to prepare for death by cutting completely through attachment to this life, confessing all harmful actions, and joyfully dedicating one's virtue and merit toward completing the path of the Mahāyāna at the moment of death (dharmakāya phowa) or in one's next lifetime. The essence of this path is bodhicitta and the courageous bodhisattva vow to attain buddhahood to free all beings from temporary suffering (relative bodhicitta) and to establish them permanently in the ultimate joy of enlightenment (ultimate bodhicitta).

Khenpo Sherab Sangpo taught "Advice for a Dying Practitioner" line-by-line during the four sessions of this retreat, along with guided meditation sessions, to help his students reflect upon the meaning of their life and to prepare for their death.

Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism at Bodhicitta Sangha | Heart of Enlightenment Institute in Minneapolis, offers a retreat on working with relationships in our daily life. Every buddha in the past has depended on other living beings to obtain enlightenment (liberation). Our relationships are our primary ground of practicing the path of compassion, love, and kindness. As meditators, we develop along the path of bodhicitta (unconditional love) by serving the needs of other living beings. Our experiences in our relationships with our family, friends, or co-workers help us to develop our wisdom of how to live a meaningful life. So, for this reason, working with our relationships skillfully is one of the greatest methods that Buddhists along the path strive to develop until they obtain the capacity to serve all living beings with great love and great equanimity. Video series includes teachings and guided meditation.

The moment of recognizing the gap (between thoughts) is very important. That is your awareness.

- Khenpo Sherab Sangpo

In this podcast, Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism at Bodhicitta Sangha | Heart of Enlightenment Institute in Minneapolis, offers a retreat on the Essential Stages of Meditation that covers the three aspects of resting the mind in calm abiding meditation (Shamatha, Skt. śamatha; Tib. ཞི་གནས་, shyiné, Wyl. zhi gnas). These three methods are:

1. Resting the mind (on an object)
2. Continually resting the mind
3. Repeatedly resting the mind

When you have trained your mind to rest on an object of your choice, such as a statue of the Buddha, you will be able to see its peaceful nature. This wisdom arises through being continually aware what the mind is doing and keeping one's attention right there with mindfulness. These methods also help us develop our courage to go beyond hopes and fears (ego's projections) and accept reality as it spontaneously arises moment by moment. Video includes guided calm abiding meditation and advice on how to overcome obstacles that arise during meditation.

"When the five dark ages occur; this is the way to transform them into the path of bodhi. This is the essence of the amṛita of the oral instructions that are handed down from the lineage of Serlingpa. Having awakened the karma of precious training and being urged on by my intense dedication, I disregarded misfortune and slander and received oral instructions on taming ego-clinging. Now even at death, I will have no regrets.

-Chekawa Yeshé Dorjé

From May 25-29, 2017, Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage, taught "The Root Verses of the Seven Points of Mind Training" along with his own commentary on the sixty-one slogans at a residential retreat called "Awakening the Mind: Seven Points of Mind Training." These slogans were brought to Tibet from India by Atiśa Dīpaṃkara Śrijñāna (Jowo Jé Palden Atisha), who was a great meditation master and scholar. His students founded the Kadampa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism that is known for teaching oral instructions called lojong, or mind training, that can be memorized, meditated upon, and applied to one's daily life post-meditation.

The sixty-one slogans as taught by Khenpo Sherab Sangpo were written down during the twelfth century by Chekawa Yeshé Dorjé (1101-1175), a famous Kadampa master from Tibet, who arranged the slogans into seven groups (or points) that exemplify the Mahāyāna view, meditation, and conduct.

These seven points are: Point One: the Preliminaries—the Basis for Dharma Practice (Slogan One); Point Two: the Main Practice—Training in Bodhicitta (Ultimate Bodhicitta—Slogans Two through Six) and (Relative Bodhicitta—Slogans Seven through Eleven); Point Three: Transforming Negative Circumstances into the Path of Enlightenment (Slogans Twelve through Seventeen); Point Four: Applying the Practice Throughout One's Life (What to Do during Life and Death—Slogans Eighteen and Nineteen); Point Five: Evaluation of Mind Training (Slogans Twenty through Twenty-Three); Point Six: Disciplines of Mind Training (Commitments of Mind Training—Slogans Twenty-Four through Thirty-Nine); Point Seven: Guidelines of Mind Training (Slogans Forty through Sixty-One); and The Conclusion with Chekawa's dedication verses.

These slogans were brought to Tibet from India by Atiśa Dīpaṃkara Śrijñāna (Jowo Jé Palden Atisha), who was a great meditation master and scholar. His students founded the Kadampa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism that is known for teaching oral instructions called lojong, or mind training, that can be memorized, meditated upon, and applied to one's daily life post-meditation.

The sixty-one slogans as taught by Khenpo Sherab Sangpo were written down during the twelfth century by Chekawa Yeshé Dorjé (1101-1175), a famous Kadampa master from Tibet, who arranged the slogans into seven groups (or points) that exemplify the Mahāyāna view, meditation, and conduct.

These seven points are: Point One: the Preliminaries—the Basis for Dharma Practice (Slogan One); Point Two: the Main Practice—Training in Bodhicitta (Ultimate Bodhicitta—Slogans Two through Six) and (Relative Bodhicitta—Slogans Seven through Eleven); Point Three: Transforming Negative Circumstances into the Path of Enlightenment (Slogans Twelve through Seventeen); Point Four: Applying the Practice Throughout One's Life (What to Do during Life and Death—Slogans Eighteen and Nineteen); Point Five: Evaluation of Mind Training (Slogans Twenty through Twenty-Three); Point Six: Disciplines of Mind Training (Commitments of Mind Training—Slogans Twenty-Four through Thirty-Nine); Point Seven: Guidelines of Mind Training (Slogans Forty through Sixty-One); and The Conclusion with Chekawa's dedication verses.

Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage, offered teachings on "Advice for a Dying Practitioner" by Dodrupchen Jigmé Tenpé Nyima (1865-1926), whose father was Dudjom Lingpa, a great Dzogchen yōgin. Dodrupchen Jigmé Tenpé Nyima received teachings from Patrül Rinpoché, Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo, Mingyur Namkhé Dorjé, Dzogchen Khenpo Pema Vajra, Mipham Rinpoché, and Jamgön Kongtrul.

He wrote a concise commentary on the general meaning of the "Guhyagarbha Tantra" called "Key to the Precious Treasury" which is a profound guide to the teachings and practices of Mahāyoga.

The short text for this retreat consists of essential advice on how to prepare for death by cutting completely through attachment to this life, confessing all harmful actions, and joyfully dedicating one's virtue and merit toward completing the path of the Mahāyāna at the moment of death (dharmakāya phowa) or in one's next lifetime. The essence of this path is bodhicitta and the courageous bodhisattva vow to attain buddhahood to free all beings from temporary suffering (relative bodhicitta) and to establish them permanently in the ultimate joy of enlightenment (ultimate bodhicitta).

Khenpo Sherab Sangpo taught "Advice for a Dying Practitioner" line-by-line during the four sessions of this retreat, along with guided meditation sessions, to help his students reflect upon the meaning of their life and to prepare for their death.

"Be mindful of the mind itself on your journey of self-discovery." -Khenpo Sherab Sangpo

In this retreat, Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism, instructs his students on the three supreme methods that are the foundation of all stages of meditation. In brief, the three supreme methods are practicing each meditation session first, with the proper preparation of the correct motivation of bodhicitta; second, practicing with the profound, non-conceptual view; and third, closing (or sealing) the practice by dedicating the merit to benefit all beings with great equanimity.

Khen Rinpoché then connects these three supreme methods to three fundamental stages of meditation. These are resting the mind, continuous resting, and repeated resting (or placement). By practicing these three stages of meditation combined with the three supreme methods, we develop a stable, disciplined mind with the profound qualities of realization (wisdom). This is how to practice bodhicitta (compassion) in union with wisdom.

"When the five dark ages occur; this is the way to transform them into the path of bodhi. This is the essence of the amṛita of the oral instructions that are handed down from the lineage of Serlingpa. Having awakened the karma of precious training and being urged on by my intense dedication, I disregarded misfortune and slander and received oral instructions on taming ego-clinging. Now even at death, I will have no regrets.

-Chekawa Yeshé Dorjé

From May 25-29, 2017, Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage, taught "The Root Verses of the Seven Points of Mind Training" along with his own commentary on the sixty-one slogans at a residential retreat called "Awakening the Mind: Seven Points of Mind Training." These slogans were brought to Tibet from India by Atiśa Dīpaṃkara Śrijñāna (Jowo Jé Palden Atisha), who was a great meditation master and scholar. His students founded the Kadampa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism that is known for teaching oral instructions called lojong, or mind training, that can be memorized, meditated upon, and applied to one's daily life post-meditation.

The sixty-one slogans as taught by Khenpo Sherab Sangpo were written down during the twelfth century by Chekawa Yeshé Dorjé (1101-1175), a famous Kadampa master from Tibet, who arranged the slogans into seven groups (or points) that exemplify the Mahāyāna view, meditation, and conduct.

These seven points are: Point One: the Preliminaries—the Basis for Dharma Practice (Slogan One); Point Two: the Main Practice—Training in Bodhicitta (Ultimate Bodhicitta—Slogans Two through Six) and (Relative Bodhicitta—Slogans Seven through Eleven); Point Three: Transforming Negative Circumstances into the Path of Enlightenment (Slogans Twelve through Seventeen); Point Four: Applying the Practice Throughout One's Life (What to Do during Life and Death—Slogans Eighteen and Nineteen); Point Five: Evaluation of Mind Training (Slogans Twenty through Twenty-Three); Point Six: Disciplines of Mind Training (Commitments of Mind Training—Slogans Twenty-Four through Thirty-Nine); Point Seven: Guidelines of Mind Training (Slogans Forty through Sixty-One); and The Conclusion with Chekawa's dedication verses.
