“Paramita practice is based on human decency, and how to be in the world and help others who are suffering… Paramita practice is the essence of how to be a bodhisattva.”

Chӧgyam Trungpa, Rinpoché

EN LÍNEA – 7pm-9pm, Thursdays: Feb 29, Marzo 7, 14, 21, 28, (skips April 4), Abril 11,
IN PERSON/HYBRID 9:30am-1pm, Saturday April 13

Join us for a 7-week series exploring the skillful means of the Mahayana Path – the Six Paramitas: Generosity, Discipline, Patience, Esfuerzo, Meditation and Wisdom – as presented in the Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, by Chӧgyam Trungpa, Rinpoché.

The six pāramitās, or transcendent perfections, are essential expressions of the bodhisattva, y forman la base de todo el camino del bodhisattva en la práctica del budismo Mahayana.. These are are the real work of a bodhisattva. Trungpa Rinpoche referred to bodhisattvas as spiritual warriors, brave individuals who dedicate themselves fully to the enlightenment of all sentient beings.

The course will culminate in a half-day retreat in person and hybrid at the Boston Shambhala Center, which will explore how paramita practice can support us in responding to the crises of the contemporary world.

The Profound Treasury texts present Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s teachings in a way that joins traditional Buddhist concepts with contemplative, experiential understanding, in vivid language which is as fresh today as when they were first taught.

This class is open to everyone. Some previous meditation practice, and study of the basics of the Buddhist path is recommended, pero no requerido.

Class format will be facilitated discussion, closely tied to passages in the readings from the Mahayana Volume of the Profound Treasury text. The expectation is that students will actively engage in the topics and complete each reading assignment prior to the class discussion.
