Mahayana Buddhism propagates the Bodhisattva-ideal, in which the Six perfections are being practiced continuously. These eight are the Great Siddhis (Ashtama siddhis), or Great Perfections. In 2018, "Excellences & Perfections" was published as a book by Prestel. The ontological argument reflected the classical concept of "perfections". According to Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, the lingam signifies three perfections of Shiva. She is the mistress of all achievements and perfections. The six perfections are a mental transformation and need not actually benefit anyone. Pauls Polar Perfections Limited went from being a proprietary concern to a publicly listed company. The French-bred filly Six Perfections won six races including the Breeders' Cup Mile in 2003.
