Postponed: The Path of the Paramis: Learning How To Live, Awake
with Amanda Gilbert
Thursdays, November 3rd, 10th & 17th, 2022 | 7:00pm – 8:30pm ET
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the course has been postponed to a later date
The 10 pāramīs are qualities or states of heart and mind that are necessary for the cultivation of an awakened life. Together, they show us how to pay attention and engage with ourselves, others, and the world around us in a wakeful way – with more connection, concern for others, and awareness of our own basic goodness.
The Ten Paramis are: Generosity, Virtue, Renunciation, Wisdom, Energy, Patience, Truthfulness, Resolve, Metta, Equanimity
Over this three-week course, we’ll explore these ten qualities together, in community. Week by week, you’ll discover techniques to integrate into your formal meditation practice and also mobile practices to take out into the world and your life.
The Paramis show us how to live our practice, being a part of the interconnected web of life. Join us to find out how.
This course is open to all and no prior meditation experience is necessary.
