Six Paramitas

The Six Paramitas, or "Perfections," are essential virtues in Mahayana Buddhism that guide practitioners towards enlightenment. They are: 1. **Generosity (Dana)**: Giving selflessly, whether it’s material resources or time. 2. **Ethical Conduct (Sila)**: Upholding moral principles to promote harmony and respect. 3. **Patience (Kshanti)**: Cultivating tolerance in the face of difficulties or adversity. 4. **Diligence (Virya)**: Committing to persistent effort in spiritual practice and good deeds. 5. **Meditative Concentration (Dhyana)**: Developing focus and clarity through meditation. 6. **Wisdom (Prajna)**: Understanding the nature of reality and discerning truth. Together, they help individuals progress on their spiritual journey.
