The six perfections are: generosity, ethics, patience, enthusiastic perseverance, concentration and wisdom.
For each perfection we will be looking at its meaning, the method of following it, its divisions and what should be done in the practice of that perfection.
Please feel free to join us for teachings by our resident Spiritual master: Ven. Geshe Sangey Thinley, fondly known as ‘Geshe-la’. Geshe-la will teach in Tibetan and his teachings will be translated from Tibetan into English by Anton Weiersmuller.
