20: Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche - Resting in the True Nature of Mind - Essential Meditation Instructions

Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche
Resting in the True Nature of Mind: Essential Meditation Instructions
Commentary on a text by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

In 2019, we were deeply honored to host Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche for a special teaching event in the Swarthmore Friends Meeting house. This rare visit from one of Tibetan Buddhism's most respected teachers included a public talk, reception, and a tour of historic Philadelphia.

Essential Meditation Instructions
Rinpoche presented a profound teaching titled "Resting in the True Nature of Mind: Essential Meditation Instructions" - a commentary on a text by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

During this invaluable session, Rinpoche shared instructions on:
Accessing and becoming familiar with our mind's true nature
Essential steps and pith instructions for experiencing the mind's essence
Establishing the correct meditative view
Working skillfully with arising thoughts
Developing confidence in our mind's inherent wisdom qualities

These teachings, based on a poem-text by the late Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (one of the foremost 20th-century Tibetan Buddhist masters), offer invaluable guidance for both new and experienced meditators.
