John at the Durango Dharma Center
August 10 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
In Person and Online
Sunday, August 10th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
John returns to the Durango Dharma Center to offer a workshop on the Six Perfections (Pāramitās)—a foundational framework of the Bodhisattva path in Mahāyāna Buddhism. These ancient practices aren’t lofty ideals; they’re practical guides to living with intentionality and compassion in our daily lives.
Grounded in John’s authentic and accessible teaching style, drawing from his Buddhist monastic training and real-world experience, you’ll:
Learn the Six Perfections—generosity, ethical discipline, patience, joyous effort, concentration and wisdom—as described in traditional Buddhist texts.
Explore how these timeless virtues can enhance meaningful action, resilient living, emotional balance and wise decision-making in your personal, professional and relational life.
Engage in guided reflection, sharing, and meditation, bringing these perfections into context within your own values, beliefs and life circumstances.
Walk away with clear practices and insights you can use immediately: compassionate giving, ethical clarity, emotional patience, sustained focus, joyful effort and discerning wisdom.
