Master Class Course IV with Lama Surya Das - Session #2 "How to Be a Bodhisattva: The Ten Paramitas from Generosity to Primordial Wisdom"

Saturday, October 14, 2023
11 AM to 1 PM ET (US East Coast Time)

The ten transformative practices of the Bodhisattva Path, the path of the engaged
peaceful ‘warrior’ as taught by Śāntideva in his 8^th century Mahayana classic,
unveils Buddha’s way of being a light in the world. Each of the ten transcendental
virtues or practices can be a way ‘in’ to awakefulness. With generosity as the first
of the ten, Śāntideva points to the importance of the reciprocal nature of being with
others in the world. And with primordial wisdom as number ten, he elucidates 
the spacious View that includes everything and everyone in our path 
and practice. All ten paramitas or virtues will be explored along with guided
 meditation pointing the way to engaging with a paramita in daily meditation.

Each session topic is unique; it is not necessary to have attended other sessions.

The virtual Master Class course consists of 8 individual live virtual classes held one Saturday each month, September 2023 through April 2024. Each class has an introduction, guided meditation, teaching, Q & R, and concluding remarks. Participants may
purchase the entire course (8 sessions), or choose the individual topics they prefer.

All sessions will be recorded and available for download and on-demand viewing.
