Description
"The six perfections are the actions of the bodhisattvas, holy beings who have transcended selfless concerns. And yet at the same time they're also skills we can and should develop right now, in our messy, ordinary lives. In this clear, comprehensive guide to this backbone of the Buddhist path, Lama Zopa Rinpoche walks us through each of the six perfections: 1. charity 2. morality 3. patience 4. perseverance 5. concentration 6. wisdom For each one, he carefully unfurls its intricacies, showing us its depth of meaning, how it intertwines with the other perfections, and how to practice it. With the guidance he gives us, we can progress in our practice of the perfections, becoming more generous, patient, and wise, until we, like the bodhisattvas, learn to cherish others above ourselves. "We can only attain enlightenment when we have achieved each of these perfections; it is the infallible route followed by all buddhas." -Lama Zopa Rinpoche"--
