Prajnaparamita Sutra

Prajnaparamita, Java In previous post you have read about What is Mantra?. In this post i would like to share about Prajnaparamita Sutra also known as perfection of Wisdom Mantra or Hridaya (heart) Sutra. Paramita refers to the perfection of which ferries one beyond the sea of suffering and mortality to Nirvana. There is Six Paramitas as following: (1) Dana, charity or giving, including the bestowing of truth on others; (2) Sila, keeping the discipline; (3) Ksanti, patience under suffering and insult; (4) Virya, zeal and progress; (5) Dhyana, meditation or contemplation; (6) Prajna, wisdom, the power to discern reality or truth. It is the perfection of the last one -- Prajna -- that ferries sentient beings across the ocean of Samsara (the sea of incarnate life) to the shores of Nirvana.
