In Buddhism

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Paripūri (परिपूरि) refers to “accomplishment”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 22, v2).—Accordingly, “[...] In the seventh ground, the Bodhisattva destroys all the passions (kleśa)[11] [and thus assures his own interest]: that is the “excellence of one’s own interest”; in the eighth and ninth ground, he assures the interest of others (parārtha) insofar as he “ripens beings and purifies completely his Buddha-field”. In respect to the depth and breadth of the two interests thus assured, the Bodhisattva “excels in the accomplishment of all the qualities” (sarvaguṇa-paripūri). [...]”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
