What if your everyday life — your relationships, your struggles, your ordinary moments — was already the Bodhisattva Path?

The Six Paramitas — generosity, ethics, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom — are Mahayana Buddhism's most practical and immediately applicable teachings. They don't ask you to retreat from your life. They ask you to meet it more fully, more wisely, and with a progressively more open and compassionate heart.

This autumn, Buddhist Faith Fellowship is offering a warm, beginner-friendly two-session live Zoom course exploring how each of the six perfections can transform your daily life — your work, your relationships, and your spiritual practice.

Guided by Rev. G.R. Lewis, M.A. and drawing from The Six Paramitas by Chan Master Sheng Yen, this course brings these timeless teachings to life through engaging discussion, reflection, and real-life application.

No prior experience needed. Open to all backgrounds and beliefs

What We'll Explore:

🌸 Generosity (Dana) — giving without self-attachment ⚖️ Morality (Sila) — ethics as compassion in action 🌊 Patience (Ksanti) — wisdom in the face of difficulty 🔥 Diligence (Virya) — joyful effort for the benefit of all 🧘 Meditation (Dhyana) — awareness beyond the cushion 💎 Wisdom (Prajna) — the perfection that illuminates all others
