Since you are fundamentally complete in every respect you should not try to supplement that perfection by such meaningless practices.
No merit whatsoever! Whether sitting in quietude or practicing the six virtues not an ounce of merit is to be found in them.
To practice the six paramitas and a myriad similar practices with the intention of becoming a Buddha thereby is to advance by stages, but the Ever-Existent Buddha is not a Buddha of stages.
No method, doctrine, or stage is the foundation of his family. What then is?
If you look upon the Buddha as presenting a pure, bright, or enlightened appearance, or upon sentient beings as presenting a foul, dark, or mortal-seeming appearance, these conceptions resulting from attachment to form will keep you from supreme knowledge.
The Buddha is not found in transcending one to attain another.
