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

Brahmacarin Srenika - Early Sutra Sources of the Prajnaparamita

Brahmacarin Srenika - Early Sutra Sources of the Prajnaparamita

An essay I presented at a conference held at HKU in conjunction with Donggok University in Korea. I was trying to find out how the "Brahmacarin Srenika" ended up as a case study example in the first - and possibly earliest - portion of the Prajnaparamita sutra(s). The results were fairly interesting, and other lines of related thought more so.
