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

A Survey of Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra Translations in Chinese

A Survey of Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra Translations in Chinese

This essay should be a useful overview of the various translations and texts of the Prajnaparamita literature available in classic Chinese Buddhism. Conze and others have a wealth of information on the Sanskrit and Tibetan, and this should fill the lacuna. Not just an overview, but contains the various studies and research from a range of modern scholars, east and west.

Great Compassion Repentance (Dabei Chan)

Great Compassion Repentance (大悲懺 Dabei Chan) - Chinese, Pinyin, English Translation

A full English translation, along with Chinese and Pinyin to chant along!, of the classic Chinese Buddhist Dharma Service known as the "Great Compassion Repentance" (大悲懺 Dabei Chan).

Hopefully I shall be working on a newer version of this file soon, to make the Pinyin system better, including adding the various tone-marks. Stay tuned!
