Way of Looking at Prajna | The Six Paramitas


We can look at prajna in three ways. The first way is to distinguish prajna according to three dichotomies. The second classification distinguishes prajna into three functional categories. The third classification distinguishes prajna into five functional categories. This is somewhat complicated so please bear with me. If you cannot understand the theory, that is fine, as long as you understand the last section, where I will talk about prajna in practice.
