The Six Perfections: Generosity, Ethics and Patience with Venerable Tony

The Six Perfections are the practices leading to the expression of our own Buddha Nature. Join Ven. Tony as he discusses practical ways you can bring generosity, ethics , patience, joyous effort, concentration, and wisdom into your everyday life and develop these qualities. Each of the Six Perfections supports the other five, but the order of the perfections is significant also. The first three perfections -- generosity, ethics and patience -- are virtuous practices for everyone. The remaining three -- joyous effort, concentration, and wisdom -- are more specifically about spiritual practice. This weekend Ven. Tony will focus on cultivating generosity, ethics and patience. Saturday 27 August 9.00 am - Sunday 28 July 3.30 pm, held in the Gompa at Chenrezig. Facility fee $150. 10% discount for members and concession card holders. Accommodation and meals available separately. Meals must be booked before 10.00 am on the day of the event. All bookings can be made on our website www.chenrezig.com.au.
