Prajnaparamita: About Prajnaparamita

Prajnaparamita means "the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom" in Mahayana Buddhism. Prajnaparamita refers to this perfected way of seeing the nature of reality as well as to a particular body of sutras and the embodiment of the concept in the Bodhisattva known as the "Great Mother" (Tibetan: Yum Chenmo). The word Prajnaparamita combines the Sanskrit words prajna "wisdom" with paramita "perfection". Prajnaparamita is a central concept in Mahayana Buddhism and is generally associated with the doctrine of emptiness (Shunyata) or 'lack of Svabhava' (essence). Its practice and understanding are taken to be an essential part of the path of the Bodhisattva.History Astasahasrika Pajanaparmita

Earliest Prajnaparamita Sutra is Astasahasrika Pajanaparmita Sutra which was probably put in writing in the 1st century BCE. The first translation of the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita also has a corresponding version in poetry format called the Ratnaguṇasamcaya Gatha which some believe to be slightly older because it is not written in Sanskrit. However these findings rely on late-dating Indian texts in which poetry and mantras are often kept in archive forms.

Mahayana Prajnaparamita teachings were first developed by the Caitika subsect of the Mahasamghikas. Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra originated amongst Mahasamghika schools and they had two copy of the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra in Prakrit Script.

In 2012 A partially damaged Kharosthi manuscript of the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita was radiocarbon dated to 75 CE making it one of the oldest Buddhist texts in existence.

 

Overview of the prajnaparamita SutraThe teaching of Prajnaparamita is classified as inferior to superior Based on the grade of the disciple.
For example

The inferior was taught to the merchants Trapusa and Bahalika because they were ordinary men
The middle was taught to the group of people who were at the stage of becoming saints or are already saints;
The Superior [the eightfold Prajnaparamitas] were taught to bodhisattvas.

The eightfold Prajnaparamitas are the teachings of the Prajnaparamita which can be categorized as

:Trisatika Prajnaparamita Sutra

:Pancasatika Prajnaparamita Sutra

:Saptasatika Prajnaparamita Sutra

:Sardhadvisahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra

:(25 000 lines) satasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra

:(100 000 lines) have a connection with the Dharmaguptaka sect while the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra (8000 lines) does not.


The titles of these eight Prajnaparamita texts are given according to their length. The texts may have other Sanskrit titles as well or different variations which may be more descriptive.

There are also other Prajnaparamita sutras the Heart Sutra (Prajnaparamita Há¹›daya) and Diamond Sutra which exists in a shorter and longer version. these two sutras are in a class by themselves and deservedly renowned throughout the world of Northern Buddhism.
