The Principles
That Guide Us
At PBA, students and teachers practice six
Paramitas, or Spiritual Perfections, which
in Mahayana Buddhism are traditional practices of persons who seek
enlightenment in order to end the suffering of others.
1.
Dana:
generosity, selfless service to others
2.
Shila:
virtue, moral conduct
3.
Kshanti:
patience, perseverance
4.
Virya:
effort, endeavor, strength
5.
Dhyana:
contemplation
6.
Prajna:
wisdom
Our practice of
these Paramitas is an expression of
gratitude for the help and guidance we
constantly receive from a compassionate universe. At
PBA,
the cultivation of peace in
individuals, the community and the world is based on the practice of
these six
Buddhist precepts.
