AN OVERVIEW OF THE SIX PARAMITAS
Master Jun Hong Lu: Let me explain to you what the “Six Paramitas” is. If you wish to be a Tathagata, Bodhisattva, or attain Nirvana, the Six Paramitas are what you ought to practise. The same goes with all of the Bodhisattvas who aspire to be a Buddha. The Six Paramitas are the six codes of conduct.
First, the Perfection of Giving.
Second, the Perfection of Morality.
Third, the Perfection of Patience.
Fourth, the Perfection of Diligence.
Fifth, the Perfection of Meditative Concentration – it means the ability to stay calm. To be well-mannered, be it during sitting or standing. A person who can’t sit or stand still or is fidgety. Do you think a person like this can be a Buddha? Do you think such a person has meditative concentration?
Sixth, the Perfection of Prajna. That is wisdom.
