The Six Perfections – generosity, discipline, patience, energy, meditation, and wisdom – are an important element of Buddhist practice. From one perspective, they lead us to Buddhahood. From another perspective, they describe the way of life of one who has achieved Buddhahood. Nichiren Buddhism emphasizes the latter interpretation and views our ability to embody the Six Perfections as the fruit of our practice of Namu Myoho Rcnge Kyo. The more we actualize our capacity for Buddhahood through the practice of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, the more we will bring forth the qualities of generosity, discipline, patience, energy, meditation, and wisdom.
