Hello pelletboy. Maybe your thoughts aren't very clear on this. The Ten Parami are:
Dāna pāramī : generosity, giving of oneself
Sīla pāramī : virtue, morality, proper conduct
Nekkhamma pāramī : renunciation
Paññā pāramī : transcendental wisdom, insight
Viriya (also spelt vīriya) pāramī : energy, diligence, vigour, effort
Khanti pāramī : patience, tolerance, forbearance, acceptance, endurance
Sacca pāramī : truthfulness, honesty
Adhiṭṭhāna (adhitthana) pāramī : determination, resolution
Mettā pāramī : loving-kindness
Upekkhā (also spelt upekhā) pāramī : equanimity, serenity
The Buddha certainly gave a lot of emphasis to all of these. As the practical Path he taught the Eight-Fold Path. One who practices that will practice the perfections by way of it.
