In this module of the Adventure Mahayana series, we look at the first five of the six paramitas: generosity, ethical discipline, patience, joyful effort, and meditation. These "perfections" form the basis for a practice that leads to enlightenment.

In this module in the Adventure Mahayana series, Acharya Lama Kelzang Wangdi teaches the last of the six paramitas: wisdom. Wisdom is like a guide for the prior five paramitas. And without wisdom, the other paramitas will not be of much benefit. 

The Adventure Mahayana series ended with an online retreat that focused on meditation. Acharya Lama Kelzang and Acharya Lama Sönam give instructions for our continuous meditation path and we will practice together.

During this part of the Adventure Mahayana series, Acharya Lama Kelzang Wangdi teaches on the 37 factors of enlightenment. What qualities do we develop through hese practices and how do these factors lead us to enlightenment? 

The central element on the Mahayana path is loving-kindness and compassion. How can we keep our hearts open and full of love and care for others, especially when we meet difficult circumstances?
