Thursdays, June 26 – September 11
(No class on August 21)
8:00 am – 9:30 am
Online Only
This course continues the ongoing exploration of the Middle Lam Rim with Venerable Steve. The sessions will focus on the six perfections– sacred tools to help us live out the teachings in our daily lives.
All are welcome.
“Once you have made up your mind that the most important thing in your own life is to do whatever is most helpful for others, and you feel that you’ll be best equipped to do that by achieving full awakening—buddhahood, then what?
The answer is: a lifestyle filled with the six perfections.
Of course, to do that you need to learn a bit about them. Think. Understand. Then practice them. This is the bodhisattva’s way of life. A beautiful way of life. Definitely.
That’s what we’ll be doing for the next few months.”
That’s what we’ll be doing for the next few months.”
