Lopon Dorje Khandro (Dr. Lourdes Arguelles) will begin teaching  a six week course on the Six Perfections. These are the heart practices of  Bodhisattvas, practices through which they perfect their actions of body, speech, and mind in order to attain Enlightenment and thus acquire the skillful means to help  beings of  the various worlds of existence. In each of these sessions, Lopon Dorje Khandro will explore the essence of one of the Perfections and lead students on Tonglen ( Giving and Taking to Awaken Compassion ), Metta (Loving Kindness), and/or Chenrezig  meditation practice.

The first session will be focused on the Perfection of Giving with special attention on how to perform the three types of giving in the context of the world we currently live in: giving of material objects, protecting from fear, and  giving the Dharma. Lopon will also discuss the findings of  contemporary scientific research on pathological altruism from a Buddhist perspective. In addition, we will practice together Tonglen and Metta meditations for oneself and others.
