Three Month Talk Series – The Paramis

The Qualities That Reshape Daily Life & Lead to Buddhahood

The Paramis: A Special Three-Month Series of Talks

The Paramis or “Perfections” are considered essential qualities of mind and heart that reshape our daily lives and lead to Buddhahood and awakening. The constitute a comprehensive path of practice which parallels and supports each of the practices of the Historical Buddha’s Eight-Fold Path.

The Paramis are: Ethics/Virtue, Generosity, Patience, Energy, Restraint/Renunciation, Resolve, Equanimity, Loving Kindness, Truthfulness and Wisdom.

SIM’s teachers will be presenting a 10-week series of coordinated talks exploring the Paramis and their application in practice and daily life. We invite you to this special opportunity to deepen your practice in community with others on Thursday evenings from March 14 through May 16, 2024.
