The Bodhisattva Warrior:

Six Paramitas

View -

Having developed a powerful aspiration to attain complete enlightenment for the benefit of all, one takes the bodhisattva vow to manifest and actualize that aspiration. After this, one develops the bodhichitta of engaging, entering into the actions of a bodhisattva.

This course presents the six transcendent actions or paramitas of the bodhisattva path. Two texts will be used: the Vidyadhara’s 1980 & 1982 Seminary Transcripts. The two presentations are closely related in structure and provide the basic instructions on what these actions involve. Much of this material was covered in one class in the "Walking the Bodhisattva Path" course. In this course, we are simply taking it one step deeper.

Format: six classes and a dharma exchange
