Buddha Prajnaparamita

Friday 22nd August, 7:30pm - 8:30pm

Prajnaparamita is a female Buddha who is the manifestation of Buddha’s perfection of wisdom. By relying upon her we can dispel the ignorance that is the main source of our suffering. 

Her four arms indicate that she is the synthesis of all Buddhas of the four directions. She holds a vajra and a scripture of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra. Her remaining two hands are in the mudra of meditative equipoise. Together her hands teach us that through training in meditation on the perfection of wisdom we can accomplish the higher perfection of wisdom, the union of great bliss and emptiness, through which we can attain enlightenment very quickly.
