Pāramī

Pāramī is a word used in Buddhism. It's a word that means perfections or qualities that are good and worth striving for. These perfections are like a list of things to do to become a better person and to help others. For example, one of the pāramīs is to be generous - this means to give of your time, money, and energy to help people in need. Another example is patience - this means to not get angry or frustrated easily. There are many other pāramīs, but all of them have the same goal - to help us become better people and to help others in need.
