Introduction To The Ten Perfections
by Lisa Goddard
In Theravada Buddhism, the focus is on the gradual path of development, because a gradual path can hold everyone within it. In terms of meditation practice, the gradual path of development has a lot to do with what are called the seven factors of awakening we’ve talked about these before and we will again, they are inner qualities that get developed as we meditate. So there’s a whole other emphasis on inner growth and development that are called the Perfections or the Paramis and these are 10 strengths that are particular to development in daily life. So the 7 factors are more about meditation and the the 10 paramis or the 10 perfections are better cultivated in daily life. This track introduces the subject for our study in the next month.
