Moments of Beauty, Moments of Love: The 6 Paramitas – A Guide to Caring for the Beloved Community
Three nights on Samish Island, Washington.
The 6 paramitas (far-reaching attitudes) are a guide to everything we need to understand about ourselves and others, in order to wisely engage with the world, to protect ourselves from self-destructive emotions, and to prevent us from harming others with ill-considered actions. The paramitas – generosity, ethics, patience, joyous effort, concentration, and wisdom – fill our hearts with courage, compassion, and a wish for peace, and help us spread that warmth and protection to others.
Retreat mornings will be dedicated to mindfulness, walking meditation and teachings on the meditation itself. Afternoons will include teachings and plentiful discussion, large and small group, as we enjoy the support of our BHS community and the joy of belonging.
