4 - The perfection of skilful means - Morning Inspirations with Lama Michel

Simultaneous English translation from 7 February 2022 - Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre
The perfection of skilful means. In one of his texts, Atisha says, "During the day we are distracted and at night, we sleep." Recognising that life is short and goes by quickly, Lama Michel invites us to practice skilful means in every moment of the day. Without waiting for ideal conditions and without being conditioned by external factors, we should train our inner qualities independently of what happens around us. In addition to training in bodhichitta (upheld by love and compassion) and the six perfections (generosity, morality, patience, enthusiastic effort, concentration and wisdom), Lama Michel introduces four lesser-cited perfections: the perfection of skilful means (or method), spiritual power (or strength), aspiration and transcendent wisdom. In this teaching, attention is given to the perfection of skilful means, or method, and we are encouraged to better this quality of ours in our daily lives.
