To practice the good heart of love and compassion, there is no need to become a Buddhist. Whoever we are, we need a sincere, non-deceitful, kind heart. If we have it, we will definitely have a happy life and we can powerfully benefit others. The focus of my teachings is to guide my students in developing their bodhicitta, a kind heart filled with love and compassion for all living beings.

Khenpo Sherab SangpoPeace in Everyday Life
Khenpo Sherab Sangpo offers a teaching on the benefit of experiencing both happiness and suffering in everyday life. When we embrace all of our experiences with equanimity, we recognize that they share the same source, our own mind. Developing equanimity enhances our peace in everyday life and empowers us to move with resiliency and courage (natural self-confidence) through life. Our mind is open and vast spaciousness that gives birth to everything. When we recognize this, we can relax and relate to it with an evenness that instills great confidence and peace of mind. Teaching includes instruction on developing loving-kindness, patience, and mindfulness in daily life; along with a guided meditation on practicing objectless shamatha meditation (calm-abiding), where one rests the mind in its natural, open, relaxed state.
