Cultivating the 6 Perfections
Venerable Tenzin Gendun
26-28 January 2018
Public Talk: Friday 26 January: 7.30pm
This even is now cancelled!
The Six Perfections are the best summary of the Mahayana Path from many different points of view. They are the best way to put into our daily life something so vast it seems impossible to practice. The Six Perfections are not difficult to recognise: How to give, Ethics, Patience, Perseverance, Concentration and Wisdom. If we understand what practices are included in each Perfection, their function, requirements, benefits and results, we will understand the entire Mahayana Path. Our understanding will lead us to desire to practice the Perfections and we will be happy to make a special effort to actually do so. By doing these practices we will complete the Mahayana Path.
Once having generated the Boddhisattva aspiration we need to know how to practice, what the actual path to enlightenment is. The six perfections summarise the whole Mahayana path. If we understand exactly what they are, their function , requirements, benefits and results we will be inspired to engage with joy and so be able to achieve our own happiness and the welfare of others...
The weekend will include both teachings, meditations and prayers.
