Description
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.
