A Daily Practice
These six perfections are presented from the teachings of His Holiness Amchok Rinpoche who is an enlightened Buddhist Master. We are made up of so many thoughts and desires. These influence our lives and what we do with these thoughts and desires decides who we will be.
Applying the Six Perfections
As we begin to apply the six perfections, we will find that this leads to special insights and increases our skill and experience in relating to ourselves and other people with kindness. If you can choose one of these and practice them for at least a day, you will make a change for yourself and ultimately the world.
- Compassion and Wisdom
Always approach everyone in your life with this. Consciously attempt to do the best you can and be the kindest person. - Moral Discipline and Conduct
We should not ever violate any relationship with another. We should always act with integrity and kindness. - Extend a helping hand from a kind heart.
We should try not to have agendas in helping people. This often results in expectations that the person may be unaware of. Whenever there are expectations, we should recognize that we have helped them for a purpose and not out of kindness. - Ultimate Patience
This is important. We tend to rush people or expect things to be done at our pace rather than theirs. We should always listen to them at the pace that they can present to us. - Single Pointed Concentration
Whenever we work or relate to people, we must focus our attention in the present and totally to that person as we communicate with them. - Unlimited Enthusiasm and Perseverance
Never give up. Whenever we participate, we should try to do it joyfully and persist in achieving our goals.
