The six paramitas, such as generosity, ethical conduct and discipline, patience, joyful perseverance, meditative stability, and wisdom, will lead us to the “other shore of the cycle of existence, to liberation from suffering, and are therefore also called liberating qualities.” Gampopa

Beginners are very welcome.
