In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Bodhipariṇāmana (बोधिपरिणामन) refers to “transforming into awakening”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Son of good family, the morality of the Bodhisattvas becomes purified by these eight qualities. What are those eight? To wit, (1) never giving up the thought of awakening in order to purify thought ; (2) no thought of disciples or isolated buddhas in order to purify logical ability; (3) never giving up training in order to purify one’s vows; (4) not entering into any kind of birth in order to [purify?] one’s aspirations; (5) no laxity in order to purify the condition of non-stress; (6) transforming into awakening (bodhipariṇāmana) so as to purify one’s aim’”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
