The Six Perfections: Generosity | Thubten Chodron | Online and at Sravasti Abbey
September 2, 2022 | 4:00 PM Pacific Time | Sravasti AbbeyClick here for more information about this event
Ven. Chodron continues teaching from Nagarjuna’s commentary on the six perfections, included in Marvelous Stories from the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, translated from the Chinese canon by Bhikshu Dharmamitra.
She continues to unpack the beautiful stories about the perfection of generosity that she began last year.
The six perfections—also translated as the six far-reaching practices or the six paramitas — describe the methods that bodhisattvas transform their minds into the mind of a buddha, a fully awakened one. These six practices are generosity, ethical conduct, fortitude or patience, joyous effort, concentration, and wisdom.
With decades of experience, Venerable Chodron brings her humor, skill, and practical wisdom to helps us deal with our inner obstacles to developing these bodhisattva trainings.
The retreat includes teachings, meditation, and facilitated discussion.
Offered in person and online.
Arrive by 3 pm on Friday, Sept 2. Retreats ends after lunch on Monday, Sept 5.
