Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism, offers teachings on how to relax and rest in the nature of mind. This ultimate wisdom, our buddha nature, is innate and natural to everyone, but temporarily covered by delusion and confusion. As Khen Rinpoche says in his teaching: “If we break through confusion, we can relax our mind […] and with wisdom we can solve all of our problems.” To do this, he advises that we need discipline (the method), meditation (the path), and wisdom (the goal). The teaching ends with a guided meditation and supplication prayer to Khenpo Sherab Sangpo’s root teacher, Khenchen Jigmé Phuntsok, to recognize the nature of mind through his root teacher’s blessings.
