The Ten Perfections

Join us for this retreat focused on the practice of the Ten Perfections, or Paramitas — a teaching at the heart of the path of compassionate beings. This path begins with recognizing the interdependent nature of all beings, and the practice of the Perfections helps us bring that understanding into lived experience so that our actions may truly benefit ourselves and others. By relying on these practices, the virtuous qualities of the awakened mind can arise within us and serve as skillful means for clearing obscurations. The Ten Perfections are:

• generosity,
• wholesome conduct through body, speech, and mind,
• patience,
• effort,
• concentration and mindfulness,
• the wisdom of knowing,
• skillful means,
• aspiration,
• power, and
• equanimity.

Tempa Lama will offer teachings on each of the Ten Perfections and guide participants in exploring how to bring them into daily life.
