Guiding Instructions on the Stages of Meditation [1]
"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.

Advice for a Dying Practitioner [1]
Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, a professor of Tibetan Buddhism in the Nyingma Lineage, offered teachings on "Advice for a Dying Practitioner" by Dodrupchen Jigmé Tenpé Nyima (1865-1926), whose father was Dudjom Lingpa, a great Dzogchen yōgin. Dodrupchen Jigmé Tenpé Nyima received teachings from Patrül Rinpoché, Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo, Mingyur Namkhé Dorjé, Dzogchen Khenpo Pema Vajra, Mipham Rinpoché, and Jamgön Kongtrul.
He wrote a concise commentary on the general meaning of the "Guhyagarbha Tantra” called “Key to the Precious Treasury” which is a profound guide to the teachings and practices of Mahāyoga.
The short text for this retreat consists of essential advice on how to prepare for death by cutting completely through attachment to this life, confessing all harmful actions, and joyfully dedicating one’s virtue and merit toward completing the path of the Mahāyāna at the moment of death (dharmakāya phowa) or in one’s next lifetime. The essence of this path is bodhicitta and the courageous bodhisattva vow to attain buddhahood to free all beings from temporary suffering (relative bodhicitta) and to establish them permanently in the ultimate joy of enlightenment (ultimate bodhicitta).
Khenpo Sherab Sangpo taught "Advice for a Dying Practitioner” line-by-line during the four sessions of this retreat, along with guided meditation sessions, to help his students reflect upon the meaning of their life and to prepare for their death.
