Much as we may wish to be kind, caring and loving, often this may be difficult for us in practice.

As we move from wishing to be more compassionate to grappling with how we put this into action, the Buddhist teachings include six tools in a how-to guide:

  1. Generosity: cultivating the attitude of generosity.

  2. Discipline: refraining from harm.

  3. Patience: not being perturbed by anything.

  4. Diligence: finding joy in what is virtuous, positive or wholesome.

  5. Meditative concentration: not being distracted.

  6. Wisdom: the perfect discrimination of all knowable things.

These are known as the Six Paramitas, or transcendent perfections, and contain all the vital skills needed for us to transform our mind and open our heart.

This 10 week course addresses each of the Six Paramitas in turn, offering a wealth of practical advice to help us put our best biggest heart into action everyday.
