Online Course: The Paramis

The Perfections of Virtue Gather online with teachers of awakening Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat for these 60-minute webinars, one day a week for six weeks. We’ll strengthen our practice of the paramis, often translated as “The Perfections of Virtue.” Earnest and ongoing cultivation of the qualities of the six paramis leads to our speedy awakening for the benefit of all beings.  Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat will be teaching this course online, on Saturday afternoons (3-4 pm Mountain Time, August 29th, September 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th, October 3rd).  Sessions will be 60 minutes long. * NOTE: webinars must be attended live; no recordings will be available. Registration numbers are limited to 25 people; please confirm that you’re able to attend live before you register for this course.*  Determine your local time here. Cost: This course is being offered on the basis of the progressive and precious practice of dāna (generosity), the first parami. Traditional teachings hold that, while we practice all the paramis simultaneously, they are perfected in order.
