Paramitas, Paths, and Fruitions (MAH 306)

MAH 306
online 9:00–10:30 am (Pacific Time)
Saturdays, September 7–October 26, 2024

Mahayana builds on foundational Tibetan buddhist schools and, through philosophical reasoning, it points to the benefit of expanding our desire for liberation to include all beings. By working with emotions and exploring the illusory nature of all phenomena, a heart of genuine compassion arises. Mahayana teachings also introduce the idea of buddha nature — the crucial notion that all sentient beings possess the seed of buddhahood.

MAH 306 is the last class in the Nalandabodhi Mahayana series. It focuses on the ten paramitas, the five paths, the ten grounds of awakening, mind’s dimensions of awakening, and trascending delusion, unfolding wisdom.
