The Five Perfections (Link #811)

Speaker: Dungse Jampal Norbu. Dungse-la reflects on how the willingness to show up, especially with "a heart full of bodhicitta" is 60% of success in getting anything done in the Dharma. He relates the power of showing up to the five perfections, which are taught in a Tibetan medical text: place, teacher, teaching, assembly, and time. Dungse-la applies the five perfections to our upcoming gathering at NSS, but he also invokes the Thangtong Gyalpo prayer to demonstrate how the five perfections can be established in meditation practice.
