The Zen path is not only a path of sitting–it’s a path of living. At its heart is the Bodhisattva vow: a commitment to meet the suffering of the world with wisdom, compassion, and an open heart. In this course, you’ll explore the Six Paramitas–six profound practices that have guided Zen practitioners for centuries–and learn how to bring them to life in your own daily experience.
As the third and culminating course in our Core Curriculum, this four-session series, taught by our Abbot, Roshi Robert Althouse, offers a complete map for the spiritually engaged life:
Awakened Heart: Zen-inspired Living – Discover bodhicitta, the awakened heart that forms the bedrock of Zen practice and the Bodhisttva’s way.
Generosity & Discipline: Overcoming Greed and Ignorance – The first two paramitas invite us to return to our innate generosity and cultivate the discipline that sustains practice and joyful living.
Patience & Energy: Overcoming Anger and Laziness – Learn how to meet anger with skill and find the inner energy that carries you through difficulties.
Meditation and Wisdom in Daily Life – The final two paramitas weave contemplative depth into the fabric of everyday life.
Early Bird Special– Register before May 9
Nonmembers $179 (regular $199); Members $159 (regular $179)
Dates: June 6, 13, 20, & 27 | Saturdays, 10:00-11:30 AM CST | Online
