How to Really Benefit Others: The Practice of the Six Perfections
Guided meditations and teachings with modern Buddhist teacher Lyn Fox
Our Lamrim or stages of the path meditations lead us to the development of compassion for all living beings which is the seed for Bodhichitta, our wish to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all. That seed is nurtured by the merit or good karma we create by the practice of the Six Perfections. This summer in our Thursday classes we will learn about and meditate on: what these six perfections are, why they are so beneficial to ourself and to others and how to practice them in our daily life. These classes are suitable for both experienced and beginning meditators so everyone is welcome.
