The Six Perfections: Class 2 - Discipline

In this series, Ryūshin Paul Haller offers a six-week class on the six paramitas (perfections) - giving, discipline, patience, effort, continuous contact and wisdom. The perfections are a traditional list of the virtues and wholesome dispositions that arise with dedicated practice.

This class examines a variety of teachings on the paramitas from early Buddhism, Zen and contemporary commentaries to reveal in detail the qualities of mind and behaviour the paramitas promote and the afflictions and suffering they dissolve.
