Parami
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Parami (perfection)

1.Dana parami: generosity, giving of oneself.
2.Sila parami: virtue, morality.
3.Nekkhamma parami: renunciation.
4.Panha parami: wisdom, insight.
5.Viriya parami: effort, diligence.
6.Khanti parami: patience, tolerance.
7.Sacca parami: truthfulness, honesty.
8.Adhitthana parami: determination, resolution.
9.Metta parami: loving, kindness.
10.Upekkha parami: equanimity, serenity.
These ten pefections make a man purify his mind and helps to find the end of suffering. It makes mind free from clinging and cravings. These are not easy things to practice for anyone. So the main thing is to control mind to do these things. Every Buddha were completely perfect with these paramis and they guided others to walk in the same way to find the enlightenment.
