Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage (bodhicittasangha.org), offers meditation instructions on the union of one-pointed concentration of the mind (śamatha) and perfect discernment (vipaśyanā). These methods help us to achieve calm abiding, a state of quieting the conceptual mind, and insight that clearly sees the nature of the mind (rigpa). Practicing these essential instructions from Khenpo Sherab Sangpo’s spiritual lineage allow us to stabilize our mind to recognize its buddha nature.

Prayer from The Treasury of Blessings—A Practice of  Buddha Shakyamuni

With your great compassion, you embraced this turbulent and degenerate world, And made five hundred mighty aspirations. You are exalted as the white lotus; whoever hears your name shall never return to saṃsāra— Most compassionate teacher, to you I pay homage!

ཨོཾ་མུ་ནེ་མུ་ནེ་མ་ཧཱ་མུ་ན་ཡེ་སྭ་ཧཱ།

om muné muné maha munayé soha oṃ muni muni mahāmunaye svāhā

Blessing Supplication Prayer

Grant your blessings so that I realize primordial purity is the true nature. Grant your blessings so that I recognize whatever arises is my own mind. Grant your blessings so that I liberate delusion into its own natural state. Grant your blessings so that I increase my meditative stability continually. Grant your blessings so that I actualize enlightenment in this lifetime.
