Prajnaparamita and the Four Extremes
Tilmann Lhundrup teaches that the entire Mahayana Buddhist path aims at developing prajñā, or wisdom. The perfection of this wisdom is called prajñāpāramitā. Check out Mindworks courses at https://mindworks.org/.
Teaching excerpt: In this video, Lama Lhundrup explains that in the journey of a bodhisattva, there are six pāramitās. These are transcendent, liberating qualities that arise out of compassion. Whether it’s the paramita of generosity, ethics, patience, joyful perseverance or meditation, everything is motivated by compassion. The aim of these first five paramitas is to arrive at a deep understanding of reality called prajñā, wisdom, the sixth liberating quality. This wisdom, this deep understanding of reality, makes it possible to live compassion to its full extent. The entirety of the Buddhist path therefore focuses on developing prajñā based on compassion.
