Pāramitā, often translated as "perfection" or "transcendental virtue," is a key concept in Mahayana Buddhism. It refers to the qualities and practices that a bodhisattva cultivates in order to attain enlightenment and help all sentient beings achieve the same. There are typically six main pāramitās, although some traditions recognize more.
