Taught by Steve Hagen
The Perfections, which are central to Mahayana Buddhism, are derived from the three branches of the Eightfold Noble Path: conduct, practice, and wisdom. The first four Perfections (giving, morality, patience, and vitality) relate to ethical conduct. The fifth Perfection is meditation, and the sixth is the Perfection of Wisdom itself. Like the Precepts, the Perfections are not rules of conduct, but expressions of the enlightened mind.
