072 pc13 paramita



Pāramitā. The Lotus Sutra named 6 perfections:
1.Dāna pāramitā: generosity, the giving of oneself
2.Śīla pāramitā : virtue, discipline, proper conduct
3.Kṣānti (kshanti) pāramitā : patience, tolerance, forbearance, acceptance, endurance
4.Vīrya pāramitā : energy, diligence, effort
5.Dhyāna pāramitā : concentration, contemplation
6.Prajñā pāramitā : wisdom

Through these perfection of wisdoms, we're to transcend from our egocentric behaviour... hm...
