A practical and actionable guide to the six perfections, a backbone of the Buddhist path, by an internationally beloved teacher. The six perfections are the actions of the bodhisattvas—holy beings who have transcended selfless concerns. But they’re also skills we can and should develop right now, in our messy, ordinary lives. In this clear, comprehensive guide to the backbone of Mahayana Buddhist practice, Lama Zopa Rinpoche walks us through each of the six perfections: -charity -morality -patience -perseverance -concentration -wisdom As he carefully describes each perfection, he not only reveals the depth of its meaning and how it intertwines with each other perfection, but he also explains how to practice it fully in our everyday lives—offering concrete ways for us to be more generous, more patient, more wise. With the guidance he gives us, we can progress in our practice of the perfections until we, like the bodhisattvas, learn to cherish others above ourselves.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche explained: “It is especially good to recite this mantra before going to see important people or participating in important meetings where you want the people present at the meeting to listen to you and do what you say. This mantra also can help for success in business and it brings wealth. This mantra is much more valuable than the sky filled with diamonds, gold, and wish-fulfilling jewels. This mantra has benefits like the sky to remove obstacles and to bring success. It is good to frame this mantra and put it in your home in a place where it can be seen. Just seeing this mantra directs your mind irreversibly to enlightenment. Reciting this mantra purifies the ten nonvirtuous actions and the five heavy negative karmas without break. It prevents you from being reborn in the three lower realms. Hearing, touching, and keeping the mantra has the same benefits. Just remembering the mantra becomes an offering to all the buddhas. This mantra is Buddha’s skillful means to guide sentient beings to enlightenment and to solve their problems. The ultimate benefit is that it reveals the entire path to enlightenment. 2021.
