Weekly, Saturdays, online. With MBZC resident teachers Robert Reese and Shogen Danielson. Continues indefinitely, no end date projected. (If you have a question regarding a specific date imminent or not reflected above, please also check the calendar.)

The six paramitas, or transcendent perfections, are essential themes in the practice of Mahayana Buddhism. These six endeavors are so fundamental that the “Vehicle of the Perfections” is sometimes presented as a synonym for Mahayana itself. The six paramitas—generosity, ethical discipline, patience, heroic effort, concentration, and wisdom—are among the essential teachings of Buddhism and a foundational path in the Buddha way.

Texts for the class are Tenshin Reb Anderson’s book, Entering the Mind of Buddha, and Dale Wright’s book The Six Perfections and Cultivation of Character.
