The Six Perfections
Wednesdays, January 7 - February 25, 2026,
6:00 - 7:30PM

"In order to ripen our own mind the six activities are there.
In order to help ripen others’ minds four are there."

For a bodhisattva every activity becomes practice, because you are totally committed to the benefit of all sentient beings.

Among the activities of a bodhisattva there are none which do not become part of either one of the six paramitas. You are not going to find any positive activity which is not a part of these six or a negative activity which is not the opposite of it.

The class will meet weekly on Zoom. A PDF of Gelek Rimpoche's transcript "The Six Perfections" will be provided to all participants.

Registration is required. Use the link below to register for the class:
