How to Practice parami?
To the question, "How to meet parami? How
Bodhisatta practice parami? "The answer is as
follows:
How to Meet Dana parami?
A Bodhisatta meet Generosity Perfection
by serving the needs of the creatures in various
caramenjaga their welfare, provide members of the body
even his life, teaching the Dhamma, and so on.
A more detailed answer is: there are three types of funds (a) Funds
material (amisa dana), (b) Safety Funds (Abhaya dana), (c) Funds
Dhamma (Dhamma dana).
(A) Materials Fund (Amisa Dana)
matter funds (amisa dana): the three types of funds, fund of material which
given by Bodhisatta there are two types (i) the fund's internal objects and
(Ii) external objects fund.
External object that can be funded (based on sutta) consists
of ten kinds: food, beverages, clothing, vehicles,
flowers, medicines, beds, shelter, and tools
illumination, these objects can still be divided again into
various types of objects, for example, hard foods, soft foods,
and so on.
Similarly (based on numerical methods Abhidhamma) funds
grouped in six sections when analyzed by
six senses, namely, funding things that look, sound money, and
onwards. Dana senses is also still can be further divided, eg
funding bodies that look is divided into blue objects, objects
yellow, and so on.
There are inanimate objects such as rubies, gold, silver, pearls,
and others; fields, land, parks, gardens, etc.; there are also
living things such as, female slaves, male slaves,
calves, and others; Thus, there are so many things
which can be funded.
How to Dana External Objects?
When a Bodhisatta funding external objects,
He gives whatever is necessary to the
needs. When he knew that someone was
He'll need something to give it even with
without being asked, especially if requested. When providing the funds, he
do so freely and without coercion, without conditions what
too.
If there is enough objects to be didanakan, he will
give it to the recipient as many times as necessary.
But if there is not enough, he will divide
(In equal portions) anything that can be shared and then
give it.
It should be noted. In providing the funds, he did not
provide objects that can be dangerous to
other creatures such as weapons or poison, he also did not
give objects that are not beneficial to
lead to negligence and as a playful object.
To recipients who are ill, he did not give
foods and beverages that do not fit, he gives only
what is appropriate and in the right amount.
Similarly, if asked, he gave to the layperson
what is good for householders and the monks
what is good for monks. (He did not give
householders, the objects should be given to
Monks and vice versa.) And he gave the funds without
distressing those close to him like her mother,
his father and his relatives, his friends, his son, his wife,
slaves, and workers.
If he pledged good, he will not
give something that is not good. He did not give
with the expected profit, honor, fame
or reward, or expect benefits such as birth
good, rich and prosperous, but solely for the purpose
attain Buddhahood. He provides funding only to
sole purpose, that is Buddhahood.
He did not provide funds for hating the recipient or
didanakan objects. Even if the recipient acted cruelly
and abuse at him, he did not give way
rude (as if I'm taking out the trash) and with
annoyed; He always gave a polite, calm mind,
and compassionate. Generosity really free
from the belief that support with cheers are
advantageous, but in connection with the strong belief
against the law of kamma and its aftermath.
He gave the funds, without expecting to be the recipient
appreciate and respect it; no purpose to deceive
or caused a split, he gave a thought
pure. He does not use harsh words and
insulting, or pout and pout; He gave the
words that are sweet and loving, a smile on his face and
with great calmness.
If the attachment or attachment to certain objects appear
strongly in him because of the quality of a good thing, or
since been used for a long time, or because the nature
of greed who want to have, Bodhisatta wary to
this greed, and soon conquered, and seek
receiver until he find it and give the object
to them.
Suppose that on occasions when he was about to eat the foods that are only
enough for one person and then came others who request
food; in such situations, a Bodhisatta not
will think twice to forget his food and with
immediately provide food to those who request such
by Bodhisatta Akitti wise. (Bodhisatta
in one of his life was born as a Brahmin
Bàranasi named Akitti leading the entire mendanakan
wealth, then he withdrew into the jungle;
in the woods He continued to distribute all of his
newly acquired even when he does not have
food kara except leaves.)
If anyone asks his son, his wife, his slave, and others,
He will first express purpose of funding measures
to be performed, if the requester is satisfied and happy,
He then will mendanakannya, to anyone who
happy to help him meet parami. Yet
He will not provide the funds if he knows
that the request was not human, but a giant
or stealth.
Similarly, he would not give his kingdom to
they can bring harm and suffering to
subjects, but he will mendanakan to those who
protect the people in a way that is good and right.
Such external objects funds did.
How to Dana Internal Objects?
A Bodhisatta provide internal funds in two ways:
(I) As a human being, for the sake of food and clothing,
funding himself to others to serve
and worked as a slave, though Bodhisatta
give his entire life to serving people
others, he does not want sensual pleasure in
his work, but expect welfare
and the highest happiness for creatures and
achieve the highest level of fulfillment of Perfection
Generosity (with funding body).
(Ii) He is without doubt funding body parts
such as hands, feet, eyes, etc. to anyone
who wants it. As well as external objects
He has no attachment or attachment to
parts of the body; He is not the slightest
reluctant to do so.
Two Objectives Performing Funds
In sacrificing his body parts or whole
body, Bodhisatta has two objectives: (i) satisfy
the recipient that he enjoys what he needs, and (ii) to
become skilled in doing good in meeting
Perfection by giving generously without
slightest feeling attached to a given object.
Bodhisatta provide internal objects of her entire body
or body parts, large or small, as he
provide external objects in the conduct of funds, believe
that "I will surely attain Buddhahood through these funds."
In doing this fund, he only gives what
beneficial for the recipient. He will not give
body or body parts to the Mara or the
Mara friends or the madman who want to harm her,
by thinking, "This is not beneficial for him.," but to
other creatures who request it, he will soon
funding it because the opportunity is very rare.
(B) Safety Fund (Abhaya Dana)
Bodhisatta provide safety funds by providing
protection to creatures and rescue
them even with his own life at stake when they
jeopardized by the king, thieves, fire, water and enemies, wild beasts
like, lions, tigers and dragons, giants, demons, etc.
(C) Dhamma Funds (Dhamma dana)
Dhamma Dana meaning is clear teachings of the Truth
with a pure mind is free from defilements of greed,
hatred, and so on.
To the would-Buddhist Future Students who have the desire
strong to achieve Sàvaka Bodhi, Bodhisatta taught to
refuge in the Triple Gem, morality, keeping the doors
senses, eat in moderation, practiced with great care, seven
Dhamma is good, practicing meditation and serenity view Clear
seven levels of purification, the knowledge of four roads (Magga Nana),
three levels of knowledge (Vijjà), six high mental ability
(Abhinnà), four analytical knowledge (Patisambhidà Nana) and
A student of Enlightenment (Bodhi Sàvaka).
He gave Dhamma funds by explaining the topics in
above, take refuge in the Triple Gem, morality, and so on
to those who have not been through it, and help to exercise
those who already live it.
Similarly, the beings who aspire to
be a Buddhist and sammasambuddhas Pacceka, Bodhisatta
provide funds Dhamma by explaining to them
characteristics, functions, and so forth of the Ten parami; with
describes the glory of the Bodhisatta in all three levels
kehidupannyasewaktu during the meet parami, reaching
Buddhahood, and fulfilling obligations as a Buddha,
that is by helping them in practice to achieve
Pacceka Buddha or sammasambuddhas; and refine
those practices that have been in the path towards achievement.
Dana Classification According to Suttanta In Ten Group
When a Bodhisatta provide material funds, he gives
of food funds to expectations, "Through funding these foods, may
all beings have a long life, beauty, happiness,
strength, intelligence, and achieve Arahatship fruit. "
By the same token, he drinks to mendanakan
relieve the thirst for dirt to objects of sense
creatures.
He gave money to obtain leather garments

In conducting these funds, Bodhisatta has no bad purpose;
not rude; not because of fear or shame; not
annoying the recipient; not deliver the goods with
poor quality if he has the goods of good quality;
He does not exalt yourself and humble person
Other: He does not expect any purpose other than to achieve
Buddhahood; He also does not feel contempt, disgust or hatred.
In fact, He is giving after preparing it
himself carefully, with both hands, at the appropriate time,
with respect to the recipient, without distinction
discriminate, delighted at three times (before, medium, and
after).
Thus there is no feeling of regret after giving
Fund; He did not become arrogant and insulting the recipient
but spoke politely and endear oneself
by everyone. Understanding the words of the recipient, he
easily visited by them. When providing the funds, he
give together other objects.
For example, when he wanted to give alms, He
thinking, "I'll funding these foods together
with other appropriate bodies such as drinks, robes, etc.
"And when he wants giving robes, he thought," I
will be fund this robe together with other
suitable objects as food, and others. "Similarly, when
he want to fund vehicles, and others.
When he wanted to give money objects that are visible
(rupa dana), he also gives voice funds (Sadda dana), and
others, as a complement. Similarly, with respect to
sound fund, and others.
In providing funds ten kinds of food, beverages, and
others. Based of Suttanta in terms of giving, the objects
which didanakan should be clear and easily understood. Based
of Abhidhamma, in providing funding, which is an object-
sensual objects such as shapes or sounds are not clearly visible as
a way of funds, or how one can determine
in mind that the fund is a fund-shaped.
How to provide these funds are described as follows.
Funds Classification in Group of Six According to the
Abhidhamma
Rupa Dana
Based on six groups of funds according to the Abhidhamma,
color funds (rupa funds) must be understood as follows: after
prepare for funded objects such as flowers,
clothing, jewelry or stones of blue, yellow, red,
and so on, he must take it as the color and
pondered, "I have to give this color funds, it is the
color funds from me ", give flowers, colored clothing
as the funds, funds of this kind is called color funds(rupa
dana).
If someone wants to give the fund a color, it is not possible
he separates the color of the object: it must provide
interest funds, clothing, or rocks with color
wanted, and ponder, "I will provide funds
color, this color is the funds from me. "Thus the funds colors (Rupa
Dana) was performed.
Sadda Dana
Sound Fund (Sadda Dana) such as the sound of drums, and others.
In providing this funding, it is not possible to give
sounds like someone giving a lotus flower and its
roots by removing or picking a flower lotus
and handed it to the recipient. Someone gives
sound dana by giving the objects that produce
sound, like a drum or bell. Then ponder,
"I will provide funding vote," he prostrated to the Three
Jewels by playing musical instruments alone or together
together with others, or contemplating "This is a sound funding
from me, "he hung on the ceiling of the pagoda, a bell or
bronze drum alone or with someone else, or
with substances that are stimulating for a voice like honey,
and others to the speaker of Dhamma, or by making
announcements and invites people to listen
Dhamma, and discussing the Dhamma to the people who
came to him, or to express gratitude
against those who do good because it provides funds
food to monks or a monastery or simply build
invite others to do those things. Fund
Such sounds are called Dana (Sadda Dana).
Gandha Dana
Similarly, perfumery funds (Gandha Dana)
done after preparing a few things fragrant and
fun in the form of roots, twigs or powder,
taking into account the fragrance (not object) and
pondered, "I will provide funds perfumery; this
is funding fragrances from me ", he told mendanakannya
Three Jewels; or she gives a small piece of fragrant wood
such as aloes, sandalwood, and others with the aim of the fund. Fund
Such are called fragrant funds (Gandha Dana).
Rasa Dana
Similarly, flavor funds (Rasa Dana) carried
after preparing the roots, tubers, drop, fruit-
fruits with different flavors, then ponder (not
these objects but) only the taste alone, "I will
provide funding sense: it's the flavor funds from me. "Then
He gave these objects to the recipient, or he
provide funds shaped delicacies such as rice, beans
nuts, milk, and others. Such funds are called fund flavor
(Sense of funds).
Phomthabba dana
Fund of the real-shaped objects (Phomthabba
dana) for example is, beds, mattresses, chairs, blankets, and
others. After preparing these real objects,

reality, and ponder, "I will provide funds of
real objects; this is a real things fund from me ",
then submit these items; such funds
called real objects fund (Phomthabba dana).
Dhamma Dana
Provision of Dhamma (Dhamma dana) the intention is
give Dhamma Ramana (one of the six sense objects). Appropriate
with the words, "Oja, Pana, jivita is included Dhamma funds),
Dhamma funds through nutritious food, beverages, and
life.
Further explanation: After preparing objects such as
butter, ghee, etc., are highly nutritious (Oja), with
consider only the nutrition, is dhamMàramana,
then pondered, "I will provide funds
dhaMàramana; this is dhamMàramana funds from me, "then
he gave funds, butter, ghe, and others; or give
eight types of beverages (Pana) is made from fruit
and roots, or to contemplate, "This is a fund

life such as food, and others. or by calling
doctors to treat sick or injured, or with
destroy the nets of fish, bird cages, traps;
or release them who are in confinement, or
make the announcement as he beat the drum, "hunting
animals are not allowed; should not trade in fish and
meats, "sought to protect the creatures living by themselves
themselves or by referring others. Such funds
Dana called the Dhamma (Dhamma dana).
Bodhisatta devote all virtuous deeds that
described above for the happiness and welfare
creatures around the world, until they reach
Nibbana;. devotion is to meet the requirements
in order to achieve enlightenment, for the sake of his ideals that
never fade (Chanda), effort (viriya), concentration (samadhi),
wisdom (panna), and Liberation (vimutti) until finally
Arahatta-Phala.
In fulfilling Perfection Generosity, Bodhisatta
develop a perception of impermanence with respect to
life and property in connection with his wealth, he
considers this property also owned by others as well.
He continued to develop compassion
to all beings. In fulfilling this compassionate, he
collected sari virtues that are useful for achieving
wealth. Just as someone whose house burned, he went
by bringing the wealth property into a safe place,
likewise Bodhisatta save himself and his assets
of the magnificent palace in the three realms (humans, gods, and Brahma)
which is being ravaged by fire eleven sports (the fire of lust, hatred,
ignorance, birth, old age, death, grief, sorrow,
pain, distress, and despair), And so on. With
how to dana generously without leaving anything
else. He did it without worry, without distinction
or distinguish what has been funded and what should be kept
for yourself.
(That is the way to meet Generosity Perfection ).
