A Year of Paramis

The ten paramis (“furtherances” or “perfections”) are foundational to the Buddhist path of awakening. Spanning states of the heart from kindness and equanimity to resolve and renunciation, they offer us a time tested way forward, a manner of cultivating what most truly benefits ourselves and others, both right now, in this moment, and as a stepping stone to final liberation.

Nico will be offering online daylong meditation retreats on the paramis every second Saturday of the month for the year of 2023. On the odd months, he’ll be teaching alone. During the even months, he’ll teach with a friend.
