| | THE PERFECTION OF WISDOM IN 8,000 LINES |
| | For by worshipping the perfection of wisdom one worships cognition of all-knowing. | | | Perfection of wisdom makes any spot of earth wherever it is into a true shrine for beings, - worthy of being worshipped and adored, - into a shelter for beings coming to it, a refuge, a place to rest and final relief. | | | As come forth from perfection of wisdom are these relics of Tathagatas revered, and herein as one reveres just this perfection of wisdom, now also the reverence of these relics of the Tathagata is brought to fulfillment, as the relics of Tathagata come forth from perfection of wisdom. |

| | The Perfection of Wisdom (hardcover book) selected & trans. by R.C. Jamieson |
| | At the heart of Buddhism lies the doctrine of the perfection of wisdom. | | | The sutras known as The Perfecion of Wisdom in 8,000 Lines are the oldest version of this important Buddhist text, composed some two thousand years ago, and are the basis for the present translation. | | | The book opens on a heavenly assembly of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, gods, and monks as they debate the nature of existence and the right way of life. |

| | Perfection of Wisdom |
| | Response: The wisdom achieved by the Buddha is genuinely "paaramitaa." It is because the cause is also "paaramitaa" that that which is practiced by the Bodhisattva is also referred to as "paaramitaa." This is because in the sphere of cause one refers to the ultimate effect. | | | The wisdom of the Buddhas has put an end to all afflictions and habitual propensities and has also achieved realization of the ultimate reality aspect of all dharmas in just the same manner as the later lamp was doubly bright in the degree of its illumination. | | | The wisdom of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is just the same as this. |

| | Mother of all Buddhas |
| | She is the Perfection of Wisdom, the Mother of All Buddhas. | | | This turning is represented by the scriptures called Perfection of Wisdom, or Prajnaparamita, which herald the advent of Mahayana Buddhism. | | | (so have) the Buddha's offspring and the gods and the dharmas issued from Perfect Wisdom." This wisdom is also linked with earth by the act ascribed to the Buddha during his enlightenment vigil, in which he called her to witness. |

| | The Perfection of Wisdom sutras reflect the ultimate standpoint, born of the experience of nirvana. | | | The term prajna, which is often translated 'wisdom' or 'insight,' is composed of the prefix pra and the root jna which means knowledge. | | | Even according to the Theravada canon, the Buddha said of this state that neither earth nor water, fire nor air, origination nor cessation exists in it, and that it is not describable in terms of existence, nonexistence, both, or neither. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Infinity |
| | Potentially infinite is (e.g.) the path of a body which moves in free space; potentially infinite is also the duration of matter and energy, according to the law of their conservation. | | | We say, not "in every supposition", for it may be that the infinite could not be infinite if certain beings existed. | | | But what he means to say is this: "Finite is that, besides which something else can exist; infinite therefore is that only which includes all things in itself." This definition is false. |

| | Whichcote regarded human nature as rational and perfectible, and he believed that it is through reason as much as revelation that God communicates with man. ‘God is the most knowable of any thing in the world’ (Patrides, 1969, p.58). | | | By contrast, a philosophy founded on a voluntaristic conception of the deity would have no ground of certainty or of morality because it would depend on the arbitrary will of God who could, by arbitrary fiat, decree non-sense to be true and wrong to be right. | | | Cognition depends on the same principles, for just as the created world is a copy of the divine archetype, so also human minds contain the imprint of Divine wisdom and knowledge. |

| | Perfection of Wisdom |
| | In the Dharma of the Buddha, this consciousness associated with the absorption of neither perception nor non-perception is seen to abide in dependence upon the other four aggregates. | | | It is on account of a type of wisdom associated with affectionate attachment that you and those like you do not achieve nirvana. | | | The articulation of distinctions with regard to characteristics and meanings of all of the sorts of dharmas practiced by the Hearers from the foremost worldly dharma on through to the nirvana without residue--such things as these comprise what is meant by the Abhidharma entryway. |

| | Also, all the Buddhas who perfectly reside in the three times, relying upon the perfection of wisdom, become manifest and complete Buddhas in the state of unsurpassed, perfect and complete enlightenment. | | | At that time also, Superior Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva, the Great Being, was looking perfectly at the practice of the profound perfection of wisdom, perfectly looking at the emptiness of inherent existence of the five aggregates also. | | | When the Blessed One had said this, the venerable Shariputra, the Superior Avalokiteshvara, the Great Being, that entire assembly of disciples, as well as the worldly beings - gods, humans, demi-gods and spirits -, were delighted and highly praised what had been spoken by the Blessed One. |

| | The Benefits of Studying Perfection of Wisdom |
| | The beginning of the Madhyamakavatara text says that [the perfection of wisdom] is called “mother” because all the numberless past, present, and future buddhas have been born from this perfection of wisdom. | | | Then, one second – the duration of a fingersnap – of meditating on emptiness collects far greater merit than ten eons of explaining the teachings on the perfection of wisdom to other sentient beings. | | | The Buddha explained that the benefits are equal to the number of worlds equaling the number of sand grains of the river Ganges. |

| | The Heart Sutra |
| | The bodhisattva (influence leading to enlightenment) Kannon practiced deep prajna paramita (perfection of wisdom) and perceived the five aggregates as empty (of inherent existence), and that this knowledge could relive all suffering. | | | In the three times (past, present, future) all enlightened forces have relied on prajna paramita (perfection of transendent wisdom) to attain supreme unsurpassed perfect enlightenment. | | | No wisdom, also no attainment because of nothing needing to be attained. |

| | On the Perfection of Wisdom |
| | Response: There are those who explain that the faculty of non-outflow wisdom (anaasravapraj~naa) constitutes the mark of prajna paramita. | | | There are also those who say that the bodhisattva's outflow and non-outflow wisdoms [both] generally qualify as constituting prajna paramita. | | | Then again, there are also those who explain that, from the point of first generating the aspiration [to attain buddhahood] on up to reaching the tree where the Way is realized, all wisdom employed during that time is referred to as prajna paramita. |
