The Six Paramitas are guidelines to navigate the tumultuous ocean of our lives.
As human beings we all experience many sudden sparks of discouragement and disappointment that may lead us to lose heart and give up.
As a result, conflicting emotions arise that may dampen our enthusiasm to start or continue our path. We may turn to reactivity patterns that may blind us and block our wisdom leading to inevitable stress and rumination.
How can we work with that? How can we go beyond our habitual patterns that lead to suffering?
This self-paced class explores how we can work with the challenging circumstances of our lives and cultivate equanimity and joy.
“Paramita” is a Sanskrit word which means to go to the other shore. It’s actually describing the spiritual journey.
The analogy is that we are on this shore where we experience dissatisfaction, disappointment, pain and suffering, and we need to cross this wide river to get to the other shore, the shore of contentment, of awakening, where we can see life clearly as it is.
The journey from one shore to the other is the most important part. It is here where we will unlearn all our conditioned patterns and we will learn new ways to respond to the many challenges we will have to face.
In this class, we will cross this river together. We will explore the ingrain patterns that bring suffering into our lives, and we will contemplate ways to let go of them.
We will explore the transcending actions of the topics described below. They are transcending actions because the concepts described below go beyond our regular understanding of the words, they go far deeper than their general superficial understanding.
You will find out
- Why focus and concentration is crucial for a joyful life, and how to learn and hone those skills by training our brain.
- Why we are swimming in abundance even when we do not have many material wealth, and where that abundance comes from that can enrich our own lives.
- Why skillful behavior can have a profound impact in the way we experience life. What is skillful behavior? Why creating physical and mental discipline connects us to the rest of the world. Seeing through our immediate emotions and finding the root of our suffering.
- How to work with triggers. We feel irritated and thoughts about how right we are and how wrong they are, become very common. Thoughts about defending ourselves and blaming the other create stories in our mind that may haunt us for days and escalate our suffering. So how can we work with that?
-
How to overcome anger and cultivate joyful perseverance. How we can go beyond our habitual patterns that lead to conflicting emotions and eventual suffering. How we can work with the challenging circumstances in our lives.
-
How can we get to the emotional balance, stability, and harmony we all long for? How can we access that inner knowing that allows us to see clearly in every situation, without the conceptual overlay?
- How to go through challenging experiences and yet not let it be disruptive to our wellbeing or to our emotional harmony. We will learn how to do that without going into regret or self-recrimination, or ignoring what has happened, which would be spiritual bypassing.
- How to attain joy through self-awareness, through self-discovery. Like Mooji says Step into the fire of self-discovery. This fire will not burn you. It will only burn what you are not. Only then you are free to become joyful.
Unhappiness, on the other hand, results from confusion, from our misinterpretation of the challenging of life.
We have immeasurable resources at our reach but we are blind to them. We live from a place of scarcity and lack. Like Susan Piver says: Unhappiness comes from feeling poverty-stricken when in fact we are swimming in abundance.
So that is where The Six Paramitas can help us. They are skills that we cultivate and serve as a guidance to live a joyful life.
When we practice these six guidelines consistently they unmistakably lead to fulfillment, satisfaction and joy for ourselves and others.
