Five Kinds of Prajna | The Six Paramitas


A third classification of prajna divides prajna into five categories. We have just discussed the first three-suchness prajna, illumination prajna, and expedient prajna. We will mention the fourth and the fifth, but will not go into detail. The fourth is phenomenal prajna, Which is illuminated by illumination prajna. The fifth is auxiliary prajna that is there to assist our cultivation of prajna. As with the first three, the last two are really about attaining illumination prajna.
