08 of 10 Perfection of Determination (Adhitthana)
Adhitthana - Truthfulness is followed by Adhitthana which may be translated as resolute determination. Without this firm determination the other perfections cannot be fulfilled. It is compared to the foundation of a building. This will-power forces all obstructions out of the Bodhisatta's path, and no matter what may come to him, sickness, grief, or disaster — he never turns his eyes away from his goal. For instance, the Bodhisatta Gotama made a firm determination to renounce his royal pleasures and gain Enlightenment. For six long years his was a superhuman struggle. He had to endure manifold hardships and face innumerable difficulties. At a crucial moment when he most needed their help, his five favourite disciples deserted him. Yet he did not give up his effort. His enthusiasm was redoubled. He strove on alone and eventually achieved the goal. "Just as a rocky mountain peak, Unmoved stands, firm established. Unshaken by the boisterous gale, And always in its place abides. So likewise he must ever be In resolution firm entrenched," A Bodhisatta is a man of iron determination whose high principles cannot be shaken. Easily persuaded to do good, none could tempt him to do anything contrary to those principles. As occasion demands he is as soft as a flower and as firm as a rock

07 of 10 Perfection of Truthfulness (Sacca)
A Bodhisatta is trustworthy, sincere and honest. What he thinks, he speaks. There is perfect harmony in his thoughts, words and deeds. He is consistent and straightforward in all his dealings. He is no hypocrite since he strictly adheres to his high principles. There is no difference between his inner self and his outward utterance. His private life accords with his public life. He does not use flattery to win the hearts of others, does not exalt himself to win their admiration, does not hide his defects or vainly exhibit his virtues. The praiseworthy he praises without malice, the blameworthy he blames judiciously, not with contempt but out of compassion. Even the truth he does not always utter. Should such utterance not be conducive to the good and happiness of others, then he remains silent. If any truth seems beneficial to others, he utters it, however detrimental to himself it may be. And he honours the word of others as he honours his own

07 of 10 Perfection of Truthfulness (Sacca)
Sacca - Truthfulness or Sacca is the seventh Perfection. By Sacca is here meant the fulfilment of one's promise. This is one of the salient characteristics of a Bodhisatta, for he is no breaker of his word. He acts as he speaks, he speaks as he acts (yathavadi tathakari yathakari tathavadi). According to the Harita Jataka (No. 431) a Bodhisatta, in the course of his life's wanderings, never utters an untruth although at times he may violate the other four precepts. Truth he hides not even to be polite. He makes truth his guide, and holds it his bounden duty to keep his word. He ponders well before he makes his promise, but once made the promise is fulfilled at any cost, even that of his life. In the Hiri Jataka (No. 363) the Bodhisatta advises: "Be thou in deed to every promise true, Refuse to promise what thou canst not do; Wise men on empty braggarts look askew." ― Again, the Maha Sutasoma Jataka (No. 537) recounts that to fulfill a promise the Bodhisatta was prepared even to sacrifice his life. "Just as the morning star on high In balanced course doth ever keep, And through all seasons, times, and years, Doth never from its pathway swerve, So likewise he in all wise speech Swerves never from the path of truth"

06 of 10 Perfection of Patience (Khanti)
#AriguttaraNikaya By Bhikkhu Bodhi
The Numerical Discourses of the Buddha
Patience & Impatience ―"Bhikkhus, there are these five dangers in impatience. What five? One is displeasing and disagreeable to many people; one has an abundance of enmity;« "One has much enmity both in the form of people who are enemies and as unwholesome [mental] enmity"» one has an abundance of faults; one dies confused; with the breakup of the body, after death, one is reborn in the plane of m isery, in a bad destination, in the lower world, in hell. These are the five dangers in impatience. "Bhikkhus, there are.these five benefits in patience. What five? One is pleasing and agreeable to many people; one does not have an abundance of enmity; one does not have an abundance of faults; one dies unconfused; with the breakup of the body, after death, one is reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world. These are the five benefits in patience-"

06 of 10 Perfection of Patience (Khanti)
As it is the outcome of my own action, why should I harbour ill-will towards him' ? It may be mentioned that a Bodhisatta is not irritated by any man's shameless conduct either. Admonishing His disciples to practise forbearance, the Buddha says in the Kakacūpama Sutta: "Though robbers, who are highway men, should sever your limbs with a two-handled saw yet if you thereby defile your mind, you would be no follower of my teaching. "Thus should you train yourselves: Unsullied shall our hearts remain. No evil word shall escape our lips. Kind and compassionate with loving-heart, harbouring no ill-will shall we abide, enfolding even these bandits with thoughts of loving- kindness. And forth from them proceeding, we shall abide radiating the whole world with thoughts of loving-kindness, vast, expansive, measureless, benevolent and unified." Practising patience and tolerance, instead of seeing the ugliness in others, a Bodhisatta tries to seek the good and beautiful in all. 💥

06 of 10 Perfection of Patience (Khanti)
Khanti (forbearance & forgiveness)- As important as Viriya is Khanti. It is the patient endurance of suffering inflicted upon oneself by others, and the forbearance of others' wrongs. A Bodhisatta practises patience to such an extent that he is not provoked even when his hands and feet are cut off. In the Khantivadi Jataka, (No. 313) it appears that not only did the Bodhisatta cheerfully endure the tortures inflicted by the drunkard king, who mercilessly ordered his hands and feet, nose and ears to be cut off, but requited those injuries with a blessing. Lying on the ground, in a deep pool of his own blood, with mutilated limbs, the Bodhisatta said: — "Long live the king, whose cruel hand my body thus has marred. Pure souls like mine such deeds as these with anger ne'er regard." Of his forbearance it is said that whenever he is harmed he thinks of the aggressor:- 'This person is a fellow-being of mine. Intentionally or unintentionally I myself must have been the source of provocation, or it may be due to a past evil Kamma of mine.

Cont… 05 of 10 Perfection of Energy (Viriya)
The Bodhisatta
Just as his wisdom is always directed to the service of others, so also is his fund of energy. Instead of confining it to the narrow course leading to the realization of personal ends, he directs it into the open channel of activities that tend to universal happiness. Ceaselessly and untiringly he works for others, expecting no remuneration in return or reward. He is ever ready to serve others to the best of his ability. In certain respects Viriya plays an even greater part than Panna in the achievement of the goal. In one who treads the Noble Eightfold Path, Right Effort (Samma Vayama or Viriya) suppresses the arising of evil states, eradicates those which have arisen, stimulates good states, and perfects those good states which have already arisen. It serves as one of the seven Factors of Enlightenment (Viriya Sambojjhanga). It is one of the four Means of Accomplishment (Viriyiddhipada). It is Viriya that performs the function of the four modes of Right Endeavour (Sammappadhana). It is one of the five Powers (Viriya Bala) and one of the five controlling Faculties (Viriyindriya). Viriya therefore may be regarded as an officer that performs nine functions. It is effort coupled with wisdom that serves as a powerful hand to achieve all ends.

05 of 10 Perfection of Energy (Viriya)
Closely allied with Panna (wisdom) is Viriya (Energy or Perseverance). Here Viriya does not mean physical strength though this is an asset, but mental vigour or strength of character, which is far superior. It is defined as the persistent effort to work for the welfare of others both in thought and deed. Firmly establishing himself in this virtue, the Bodhisatta develops self-reliance and makes it one of his prominent characteristics. In the words of Dr. Tagore a Bodhisatta, relying on his own resources, would form his mind thus:- "Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved. but hope for the patience to win my freedom."― To Mara who advised the Bodhisatta to abandon his quest, he said:— "Death in battle with passions to me seems more honourable than a life of defeat."
