The ten parami, or perfections, are qualities that a Bodhisattva cultivates to a supreme level in order to become a Buddha, an awakened one. All spiritual practitioners cultivate these qualities to some degree. The chant translates as: “The perfection of giving/generosity (Dāna pāramī), the perfection of giving to the utmost, the perfection of giving to the supremely utmost, lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, equanimity perfection. Thus, indeed, is the Fortunate and Blessed One...“ Then as above for the remaining pāramīs: Sīla pāramī : virtue, morality Nekkhamma pāramī : renunciation Paññā pāramī : wisdom Viriya pāramī : energy, vigour Khanti pāramī : patient endurance, forbearance Sacca pāramī : truthfulness Adhiṭṭhāna pāramī : determination Mettā pāramī : loving-kindness Upekkhā pāramī : equanimity Finishing with Dasa (ten) pāramī: recollecting all of the Buddha's perfections. ❂ JOIN US DAILY ON ZOOM ❂ Join Ajahn Anan and the Wat Marp Jan Community online for daily chanting, meditation, and a Dhamma talk.
