Crossing to the Other Shore: Thich Nhat Hanh on the Six Pāramitās
This title has been reviewed for accuracy.
Thay explores the Six Pāramitās: generosity (dāna; 布施), diligence ( vīrya; 精進), the Mindfulness Trainings (śīla; 持戒), inclusiveness (kṣānti; 忍辱), meditation (dhyāna; 禪定) and insight (prajñā; 般若), as ways of crossing over to the other shore, the shore of well-being. He then advises practices to do in daily life when returning home from a retreat, such as creating a breathing room, practicing at work, encouraging children to participate, building sangha and more.
This is the last talk in a series given during The Path of Emancipation, twenty-one-day retreat in the year 1998. Thay offered this talk at St. Michael’s College, Burlington, Vermont, in the United States.
These teachings later appear in the book The Path of Emancipation.
