About the event
The Six Paramitas (Dana, Sila, Ksanti, Virya, Dhyana and Prajna - Path of giving, Path of Right Behavior, path of Patience, path of effort the path of meditation and the path of wisdom) are wonderful practices, however we need to look at the world differently, and see that the practices are already being done for our benefit. Shinran meant that the effort of others (their practice of 6 paramitas) is what pulls us over our self-centeredness.
