The Heart’s Perfection: Bringing Your Practice to Life
An eight-week course on the Paramis
with Jon Aaron
Thursdays, September 13th- November 1st, 2018 | 10am-12pm
The Paramis, or Perfections of the Heart, reflect the humanness of the Buddha’s teachings.
Each of these 10 Paramis offers a way to expand your practice into every moment of your life.
Through Mindfulness we become curious about the subtleties of each of these 10 qualities and how our resistance can be overcome.
This class will be appropriate for students of all experience levels.
Teacher payment is included with registration.
