Description
2019 Summer Retreat recorded teachings for session 2 The perfection of generosity
12 MP3s. Also available on CD and DVD upon request.
This week long teaching and meditation retreat focuses on generosity: the first of the famous six far-reaching attitudes or perfections of Mahayana Buddhism.
