How to Perfectly Begin Every Meditation Session

On May 29, 2011 at Padma Samye Ling, Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Rinpoche taught on how to perfectly begin every meditation session according to the first of three "Noble Ones," as taught by Longchenpa, Venerable Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche, and so many great lineage masters. He goes over the outer and inner meanings of 1. how to set up a shrine, 2. going for refuge in the Three Jewels and Three Roots, and 3. generating bodhichitta by strongly taking to heart the Four Immeasurables of infinite love, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
