You call the body saba because you practice 10 parameters. 10 parameters not six 10 they shorten to six. The six represent all 10. They actually you look into the bodhic sabas their practices are actually can be divided into 10 types of practices. So Mahayana practice is about to practice those 10 parameters. All the Mana dharmadors or practices are classified into 10 parameters. 10 only. Very simple. They are number one giving. If you want to practice Mayana at all, you start first by giving not by taking. You give and you give and you give and you give. And then what's number two parameter? Morality. Morality or precepts.
Morality is western concept. In Buddhism is called precepts. It's much more precise. Precepts. After giving then you have enough blessings to practice to maintain precepts. Without enough blessings you cannot maintain precepts. Number three, patience. And then number four, vigor. Number five, samadei. Number six, parameita is wisdom. Wisdom. Perhaps wisdom particular is number six. Paramita. What's number seven? Number seven is expedience or skill in means. Number eight. What's number eight? Vows. The bodhic sattas practice vows. They make vows and vows and vows and vows. Number eight is vows. My Master shinua and who is younger the age of 18 19 he made vows 18 vows. that shows his level wisdom already.
He made vows. Number nine knowledge. Worldly knowledge. Now you have wisdom. Then it's safe for you to go to learn how to be Einstein. You no longer no longer confused. Now boys and girls, this is I'm hoping you do. You reach a stage where you have wisdom. Now you go back and say, I'm going to revolutionize my field. Not merely a follower. I'm going to father a new type of mathematics. I'm going to father a new type of medical research. I'm going to father new type of new theory of engineering, physics. Why not? That's one way to help living beings. No. So you see in Mahayana we are not condemning.
We don't don't look down upon knowledge at all. We actually value that. But only after you have wisdom, not before. You develop that kind of worldly excellence if you will, the worldly geniuses you will after you have transcendental wisdom. You know beautiful how Mayana functions. We care people don't who don't don't understand they say oh we are recluses and we hide behind the four walls yes those are the people are low levels okay that's why I call inayana Mayana they hide mamaana we engage and we not simply engaging but we contribute I explain to you later why we need to contribute not simply engaging so far so good number 10 what's number 10 is called power you develop power.
And now we talking about worlds, many worlds, entire galaxies. Take a step and the whole galaxy trembles, shakes. You are angry. The heavenly demons palaces all shake. All you need to bring people to the pean long distances that requires power. All the thing you do will be useless unless you have the power to propagate to recapitulate the 10 parameters. Number one, giving. Number two, precepts. Number three, patience. Number four, vigor. Number five, samade. Number six, wisdom. Very good. Pass and wisdom. Number seven, expedience. You have to memorize these. Okay. Number eight, vows. Number nine, knowledge. Number 10, power. Very good. Commit this to memory. That's Mahayana road map.
