Session 1:12th May 2026
Session 2: 23rd June 2026
17.00-19.00 BST UK Time
We are offering these sessions on a donation basis.
The suggested donation for both sessions is £45.
Sessions will be recorded and sent to all the delegates.
Choden will offer two sessions focusing on Bodhicitta, or the awakening heart of compassion. This is the cornerstone of the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism. It is concerned with opening our hearts and minds to all parts of ourselves and all of life with a sincere wish to awaken in the midst of the messiness and beauty of life, and to help others awaken too.
The Six Paramitas are the lifeblood of Bodhicitta. They form a complete path of awakening. They are both guidelines for compassionate living and a step-by-step path to awakening.
They are a set of qualities work together: generosity opens the heart, ethics stabilizes behavior, patience softens anger, joyful effort sustains practice, meditation steadies the mind, and wisdom reveals the empty and open nature of reality.
When these qualities are accompanied by wisdom, they become perfections (paramitas in Sanskrit) because they help us transcend our normal egocentric mode of being and initiate us into the space of interbeing – the interconnected fabric of life on this planet.
Choden will also explore how the 6 Paramitas relate to CFT and how they build on the practice of compassion within an evolutionary context.
