​​Join us this December as Gen Wangpo guides us through the transformative practice of the "Six Perfections"—a profound training in giving, moral discipline, patience, effort, concentration, and wisdom. These perfections are not only a powerful method to benefit others and overcome negativity but also a path to creating a life filled with happiness and meaning.
​
Each week, we will explore how these practices can help us cultivate wealth, happiness, inner beauty, the fulfillment of wishes, peace, and ultimately, liberation. By integrating these teachings into our daily lives, we can create a deep and lasting sense of fulfillment and joy.
