The word pāramīs literally means perfections. The southern Buddhist commentaries define the Pāramīs as “noble qualities beginning with giving, accompanied by compassion and skillful means, and untainted by craving, conceit, and wrong views.”

In this series, Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi explains the Ten Pāramīs in a general way but according to the way that they are explained within the Theravada commentaries in reference to the practice of a Bodhisattva aiming at Supreme Buddhahood.
