Description

"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. Our website has more information about Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, his teachings and practice texts. This episode can be seen on Youtube.
