The Heart of Tibetan Buddhism—Advice for Life, Death, and Enlightenment [3]
"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.

Finding Rest in Illusion by Longchenpa [3]
“All phenomenal experiences are not truly there—they are unreal. We need to bring this recognition of appearance-emptiness into our ongoing experience. Longchenpa teaches us how to rest at ease in illusion, in order to recognize unborn luminosity continually during the daytime and nighttime.” -Khenpo Sherab Sangpo Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma lineage (bodhicittasangha.org), taught a retreat on "Finding Rest in Illusion" by Longchenpa on March 16, 2024. He used the root text, "A Wish-Fulfilling Gem: Guidance on the Meaning of Being at Ease with Illusion, A Dzogchen Teaching,” in which Longchen Rabjam Drimé Özer shares oral instructions from his Dzogchen lineage that are the essential meaning of the Buddhist sūtras and tantras. This text explains how to meditate upon the eight similes of dream, illusion, hallucination, mirage, moon in water, echo, castles in the clouds, and apparition. Khenpo Sherab Sangpo focused his retreat teachings on explaining three stages of meditation instructions shared by Longchenpa: 1) the preliminary practice of guru yoga, 2) the main practice of recognizing mind and appearances as illusory, and 3) accomplishing meditative concentration (samādhi)—the ability to rest at ease without distraction in the ongoing experience of unborn luminosity (ösel). The retreat text and study resources for Longchenpa can be found on our website.
