 The Prajña Paramita   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
The terms used are in Sanskrit: Prajna means wisdom, and Prajna paramita stands for wisdom acquired experientially, by means of intuitive insight, and perfected through cultivation to the level of transcendental knowledge; it is the original wisdom of the mind, or the True Mind.
It means that the paramitas and the bodhisattva action as promulgated by the Tripitaka are not entities to be grasped, conceptualized, manipulated or used.
Then the six paramitas and the bodhisattva action are the reflection in the mirror, since they are all amenable to change and therefore empty of self.

 On the Perfection of Wisdom
This is just as with the Hearers (shraavaka) who in their cultivation of the dharma of heat, the dharma of summits, the dharma of patience and the foremost worldly dharma, first practice a semblance of non-outflow dharma and then later easily generate the patience of dharma wisdom with respect to suffering (du.hkhe dharmaj~naanak.saanti).
In the case of the second, although one does not attach to the objects of the five desires among men and gods one has still not yet been able to transcend the objects of the five desires which manifest as a consequence of the bodhisattva's merit.
Response: In this manner the bodhisattva contemplates all dharmas as being neither eternal nor non-eternal, as characterized neither by suffering nor by bliss, as being neither empty nor substantial, as being neither possessed of selfhood nor devoid of selfhood and as being neither produced and destroyed nor unproduced and undestroyed.

 Why Arhats Fall Short of Paramita   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
Response: The crossing over to the other shore achieved by the arhat and pratyekabuddha when compared to the crossing over to the other shore of the Buddha constitutes a case of the designation being the same whereas the reality is different.
Moreover, it is because it is inexhaustible that it is referred to as dana paramita.
This is analogous to a rishi possessed of the five superknowledges secreting a marvelous jewel in the midst of stone and then, desiring to protect this jewel, grinding up adamant and coating it therewith, thus causing it to be indestructible.

 Maha Prajna Paramita : quotes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
Therefore, every disciple who is seeking Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi should discard, not only conceptions of one's own selfhood, other selves, living beings and a Universal Selfhood, but should discard, also, all ideas about such conceptions and all ideas about the non-existence of such conceptions.
Every true disciple should thus look upon all phenomena and upon all the activities of the mind, and keep his mind empty and self-less and tranquil.
It is only in that sense that they can be used, for conceptions, and ideas, and limited truths, and Dharmas have no more reality than have matter and phenomena.
