Six invaluable qualities unfold and manifest from within the minds of those who pursue and practice the teachings that the Buddha presented with joy and diligence. Known as the six paramitas in Tibetan and Sanskrit, they include generosity, ethics, patience, joyful effort, meditative concentration, and wisdom. Paramita is a Sanskrit term and means “perfection.” and when translated into Tibetan, it literally means gone to the other shore, referring to the transcendence of mental fixations concerning a subject, objects, and actions.
We invite you to spend one day learning about the six paramitas from a renowned Tibetan meditation master, Namchak Khenpo, resident abbot from the Ewam Garden of One Thousand Buddhas.
WHEN: Saturday, Aug 6, 2016 from 9:30am-5pm (lunch break 12:30-2pm) WHERE: Simple Yoga, 100 Skeels Ave Suite B, Hamilton

Sang-ngag Rinpoche is an outstanding meditation master and scholar. Rinpoche's vision of a peace garden in a mountainous valley came to him as a small child, eventually leading him to Montana to build the Garden of One Thousand Buddhas. His primary residence is in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he has established a retreat and practice center, Pema Khandro Ling. (Complete Bio)
