The Way of the Bodhisattva 06 Generosity: The Chaste Power of Conscious Love

The sexual force is the power of divinity to create through love, constituting the basis for generating and cultivating genuine virtues. Learn how the Buddhist paramita of generosity is taught within the three levels of religion (introductory, intermediate, and advanced); the nature of giving material goods, fearlessness, safety, protection, and spiritual teachings (dharma); the four ethers that inform the mastery of creative energy and amplification of consciousness; how its purification leads towards liberation from suffering for oneself and others; the dangers of mixing bodhichitta (tantra: sexual energy) with lust; the impediments and precarious situation of a bodhisattva who just reached the Venustic Initiation; and the reasons why bodhisattvas must perfect generosity to advance to superior levels of development.
