Description
Lama Yesha Gyamtso provides a clear, concise, and profound
teaching on the Six Perfections of the Mahayana Path of Buddhism. He first
explains the essential meaning of the Mahayana path and of aspiration
bodhicitta which provides the motivation for practicing the six perfections.
Then, after defining perfection (paramita in Sanskrit), Lama Yeshe teaches the
meaning of each of the six perfections. In order to be “perfections” they must
be practiced in a way that is appropriate, harmless, and with a bodhicitta
motivation. In addition, the perfections each have three aspects. For example,
the three aspects of generosity are mundane generosity, the generosity of
protection, and the generosity of dharma. He concludes by explaining how the
practice of each paramita involves practicing all the others at the same time.
At the end of this talk, Lama Yeshe invites questions from the audience. Single Camera Video.
