The Ten Perfections

The Ten Perfections


The ten perfections provide the most useful framework for guiding Dharma practice in daily life. Any activity or relationship approached wisely with the primary purpose of developing the perfections in a balanced way becomes part of the practice. The perfections also provide one of the few reliable ways of measuring the accomplishments of your life. “Accomplishments” in the realm of work and relationships have a way of turning into dust, but perfections of the character, once developed, are dependable and lasting.

The Great Heart of Zen

The Great Heart of Zen


In order to reveal the heart of Zen a practitioner must be willing to face all of her or his barriers and resistances.  We will learn how our habit-ridden consciousness prevents us from penetrating deeply into our practice.  When we are able to stay present with our feelings, the wisdom of the body will provide us with the clues on how to proceed.  We will also explore the role of koans.  December 2010.

Touching Enlightenment


Reggie Ray's four-part video retreat helps us move toward enlightenment using the vehicle of our bodies.

This retreat includes several guided meditations. Begins November 1st. Become a Tricycle Community Supporting or Sustaining Member.
