kenape Mahayana cuma adopt 6 Paramita...padahal Paramita itu sebenarnya khan ada 10...

1. Dāna parami : generosity, giving of oneself
2. Sīla parami : virtue, morality, proper conduct
3. Nekkhamma parami : renunciation
4. Paññā parami : transcendental wisdom, insight
5. Viriya (also spelt vīriya) parami : energy, diligence, vigour, effort
6. Khanti parami : patience, tolerance, forbearance, acceptance, endurance
7. Sacca parami : truthfulness, honesty
8. Adhiṭṭhāna (adhitthana) parami : determination, resolution
9. Mettā parami : loving-kindness
10. Upekkhā (also spelt upekhā) parami : equanimity, serenity
In Mahayana Buddhism, the Lotus Sutra (Saddharmapundarika), lists the Six Perfections as (original terms in Sanskrit):
1. Dāna paramita: generosity, giving of oneself (in Chinese, 布施波羅蜜)
2. Śīla paramita : virtue, morality, discipline, proper conduct (持戒波羅蜜)
3. Kṣānti (kshanti) paramita : patience, tolerance, forbearance, acceptance, endurance (忍辱波羅蜜)

5. Dhyāna paramita : one-pointed concentration, contemplation (禪定波羅蜜)
6. Prajñā paramita : wisdom, insight (智慧波羅蜜)
Note that this list is also mentioned by the Theravada commentator Dhammapala, who says it is equivalent to the above list of ten.
