six pāramitās (六度, 六波羅蜜). The Sanskrit word pāramita means gone across to the opposite shore. To succeed in crossing over to that shore of nirvāṇa, opposite this shore of saṁsāra, a Bodhisattva needs to achieve the six pāramitās:
(1) dāna (almsgiving),
(2) śīla (observance of precepts),
(3) kṣānti (endurance of adversity),
(4) vīrya (energetic progress),
(5) dhyāna (meditation), and
(6) prajñā (development of wisdom).
See ten pāramitās.
