Prajñācāra

"Prajñācāra" is the "practice" of "knowledge" or "wisdom". It refers to the practice of Mahāyāna Buddhism, from the line “prajñā-vara-pāramitāya caryā”, “the practice of the perfection of excellent knowledge” in the Ratnaguṅasaṃcaya-gāthā, a commentary on the Prajñāpāramitā. Here I wish to share some of my thoughts and writings on Buddhist thought and practice. I hope that this may be of benefit to all, in the long path from saṃsāric existence to the other shore of nirvāṇa. ~~ Shì Hùifēng

How to Input Pali and Sanskrit Diacritics in Word

After having a lot of people ask me how to input / type in Pali and Sanskrit diacritical marks (eg. ā ś ṣ ṛ ṭ ñ ū ī ō ṅ ṃ ṇ ḍ ḥ) in their essays, I had the chance to show this years HKU Buddhist Studies students how it is done. This is the file, with clear and easy step by step instructions, including screen-shots of how it is done in Word 2010.
