The Six Perfections Of Buddhism

The six Buddhist characteristics for true understanding (and compassion) are:

  1. generosity (giving of oneself)
  2. morality (renunciation)
  3. patience (tolerance)
  4. energy (effort)
  5. meditation (focus)
  6. wisdom (insight)

Religion vs. Spirituality

The difference between religion and spirituality

Religion today consists of punishments and rewards (think heaven & hell or “virtuous” & “sinful” behavior).
The resulting underlying emotion is fear – something that makes true spirituality impossible.
