Event Details
The three higher trainings — triśikṣa in Sanskrit — are arguably the most important teachings to a Buddhist. Sometimes the three trainings are described as “ethics, concentration and wisdom” and other times as “discipline, meditation, and wisdom” — but, either way, the words don’t capture the essence of these higher trainings, which after all, ultimately are the path to full liberation.
Even though they sound straight-forward — there’s nothing complicated about the notions of ethics, concentration and wisdom — they are considered higher trainings, and by definition, are sophisticated and nuanced teachings. They apply to all Buddhists, regardless of path: Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana.
