Often when we think about Buddhist practice we think of meditation; however, there are additional powerful practices and qualities we can develop in our daily lives such as the ten Pāramī or “Perfections of the Heart.” In this six-month program we will explore and practice with Patience, Resolve, Truthfulness and other transformative qualities to support greater freedom in our lives. The program includes monthly meetings, readings and the writing of short reflective essays. The meetings will include talks, discussions and guided meditations.
Prerequisites: At least one year of committed insight meditation practice and completion of IMC’s Eight-fold Path Program or its equivalent.
Applications for the program are on the IMC website under “Yearlong programs.” Applications are due June 21 and notification of acceptance will be by June 25.
