Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, professor of Tibetan Buddhism, offers teachings on the foundations of rigpa. Rigpa is a Tibetan word that means an awareness that transcends the ordinary, dualistic mind. In this retreat, Khenpo Sherab Sangpo instructs his students on how to recognize the difference between dualistic mind (sem) and the nature of mind (rigpa) according to the view of Dzogpachenpo (Dzogchen, Great Perfection). He also emphasizes the importance of meeting with a genuine teacher (guru), developing faith and devotion to receive the blessings of the teacher's lineage, and the foundational meditation instructions and practices that enable one to recognize the nature of mind and stabilize that recognition so that it is not a fleeting or temporary experience.
