paramita. Literally, 'paramita' means 'reaching the other shore.' Particularly, it means transcending concepts of subject, object and action. The Paramita vehicle (phar phyin gyi theg pa) is the Mahayana system of the gradual path through the five paths and ten bhumis according to the Prajnaparamita scriptures. See also 'six paramitas.'

Skt. pāramitā. Transcendental practice, transcendental perfection, transcendent practice, transcendent perfection, far-reaching practice, far-reaching perfection, wide-ranging practice, wide-ranging perfection, perfective practice. "Perfection", despite being the most common English rendering, is quite flawed. These are in facts ongoing, unperfected practices of the Bodhisattvas. The core meaning is 'transcendent(-al)', as these are not the ordinary kinds of generosity, patience and so on, but rather those practices which have been made 'transcendental' by way of Bodhicitta and the view of Emptiness.
