Publisher's Synopsis
The Six Paramitas--generosity, ethical discipline, patience, heroic effort, concentration, and wisdom--are nothing less than the practices of entering Buddha's mind. Used across Buddhist schools, they are among the core teachings of Buddhism and offer gateways to the practice, in any situation, for newcomers and seasoned practitioners alike. In this sincere and powerful book, Zen teacher Reb Anderson offers teachings and practice stories that elucidate and open up each paramita. Taken together, the six "perfections" form an integrated and complete path--the path of the heroic bodhisattva who vows to practice ceaselessly for the welfare and liberation of all beings.
