“From giving comes wealth,
From discipline comes happiness,
From patience come attractive forms,
From effort comes the fulfillment of wishes,
From concentration comes peace,
And from wisdom comes liberation.” - Nagarjuna, Precious Garland
We all have limitless potential. Unfortunately, we are only using a small percentage of our human potential at present. Even worse, many of the ways we are using our intelligence are actually harmful to ourself and others.
In these classes, Gen Norbu will introduce the practice of the “six perfections” - training in giving, moral discipline, patience, spiritual effort, meditation, and wisdom, with a motivation to realize our potential for enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. By training in these practices with active love and compassion, we will make quick spiritual progress.
