Religious and Philosophical Background to Buddhism
A short essay on the background to Buddhism, in terms of the religious and philosophical thought of the time.
"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
