Whattsa Who'sa Bodhisattva? - The Virtue of Wisdom

Wednesday July 8, 2009

Categories: Guided Meditation, Meditation Techniques, Zen Buddhist Meditation



Ten Pure Virtues or "Perfections" are fundamental to the Bodhisattva path.



Now we come to Wisdom (Prajna Paramita)



In Mahayana Buddhism, this means seeing into, piercing  ... emptiness ... 



being, allowing, witnessing and losing ourselves in ... the dance of emptiness ...






(remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells;
a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended)
