In Buddhism

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā

Pariniṣpanna (परिनिष्पन्न) (Cf. Apariniṣpanna) refers to “(that which is) perfect”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “How, son of good family, does the vigour (vīrya) of the Bodhisattva becomes like open space? Son of good family, the vigour of the Bodhisattva becomes like open space when he is endowed with four qualities. To wit, (1) even though he strives to attain all roots of good (kuśalamūla) he has the insight that all dharmas are imperfect (apariniṣpanna); (2) even though honouring and serving all buddhas, he sees clearly the sameness of he Tathāgata’s true body; (3) even though he brings living beings to maturity, he does not apprehend living beings as they are already pure; (4) even though embracing the true dharma of all Buddhas he never sees the dharmas free from cupidity [as real entities]. When the Bodhisattva, the great being, is endowed with those four dharmas, son of good family, his vigour becomes like open space”.

Pariniṣpanna (परिनिष्पन्न) or Supariniṣpanna refers to “being well developed” (i.e., fruits and crops), according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [as the Bhagavān said to the great Nāga kings]: “Now I will teach the auspicious offering manual which can bring about any effect. [...] All flowers, fruits and crops will be well developed (su-pariniṣpanna). They will be perfectly ripe and juicy. All seeds shoot forth easily developed. All Kṛtyā-sorcery and Kākhordas will perish. [...]”.

context information

Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

Source: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems

Pariniṣpanna (परिनिष्पन्न) in Sanskrit refers to “thoroughly established or absolute phenomena” and represents one of the “Three Natures” or “Three Characteristics” (in Cittamātra ontology).—They represent the three types of phenomena which are known in Tibetan mtshan nyid gsum.—The Cittamātrins assert that dharmas established from their own side, without being merely imputed by thought, are specifically characterized, established by their own characteristics, and truly established; while dharmas established as mere imputations by thought are the reverse. They assert both the dependent nature and the thoroughly established nature as truly established, and the imaginary nature as non–truly established. These are the three “natures” or “characteristics” [e.g., thoroughly established or absolute phenomena (yongs grub, pariniṣpanna)] into which, according to Cittamātrins, all existents may be divided.

Pariniṣpanna (परिनिष्पन्न) refers to “(having) transformed out of”, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī by Vilāsavajra, which is a commentary on the Nāmasaṃgīti.—Accordingly, [while describing Ādibuddha]—“[The Sādhaka,] on generating the conviction that he himself is Mahāvairocana as [previously] described, via the yoga of the four Buddha-thrones, should visualise a moon-disc in his heart. Above that, transformed out of (pariniṣpanna) the syllable dhīḥ, [he should visualise] the lord, the Ādibuddha. [The Ādibuddha] has five faces (pañcānana > pañcamukha). [...]”.

Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.

Buddhist philosophy

Source: Google Books: The Treasury of Knowledge: Book six, parts one and two (philosophy)

Pariniṣpanna (परिनिष्पन्न) refers to the “consummate nature” and represents one of the five parts of the “three natures” (trilakṣaṇa), according to Khewang Yeshe Gyatso, Exegetical Memorandum, chapter 5 (Cf. Asaṅga’s Summary of the Greater Vehicle, chapter 2).—The term “consummate nature” (pariniṣpanna) refers to the actual reality of all phenomena, the original ultimate [truth]. Although from the perspective of its essential nature, the consummate cannot be differentiated, there are many classifications corresponding to each of its distinct nuances or facets. Therefore, its [synonyms] which have been enumerated [in the sūtras] include the “reality of physical form” (rūpatathatā) and the “reality of feeling” (vedanātathatā). [...]
