Rinpoche began the teaching by reminding us of different Sangha who had died in recent years, in order to remind us of our own impermanence and death. Then Rinpoche told some sweet stories of his early life in Lawudo, such as building the Lawudo gompa and paying the workers and travelling in Solo Khumbu in the early years. Rinpoche said it is important to keep the mind more in impermanence, thinking every day that I may die today, even when we go shopping, to think that I might not come back. Then when death is actually happening the mind is already trained. Rinpoche then explained what is the most essential practice we should do, if we are not already. Such as whatever activity you do in everyday life to do it as much as possible with bodhichitta. In that way, all your actions then become the cause of enlightenment. Then in your life to study one lamrim text from beginning to end, if possible read it mindfully three times through. Then on each of the sections of the lam rim to meditate on them for 6 months or a year, then after that you do the effortless experience meditation. Then in everyday to read your deities path, which is at the end of the sadhana. Rinpoche then gave commentary on a number of different verses on guru devotion that explain how to see the guru and how to think and why the guru manifests in ordinary aspect, showing mistakes and how important and precious this is.
