The Pali word sila (virtue, or morality) is derived from the word for “bed,” and is considered the bedrock - or foundation - upon which the rest of our spiritual practice is built. Yet, these ethical guidelines are less “though shall not do these things,”and more of a map to help us deeply investigate our own mind, body and heart to recognize which actions lead to suffering (for both self and others), and which lead to more joy and freedom. In this talk, Shell explores this 2nd parami, or "perfection." (This is talk #3 in a series of 11 on the 10 Paramis)
