	Prajna
		Prajna formed very recently (late 2003) and has been rehearsing and composing material on the weekends off and on for about 5 or 6 months.
		First of all, the word “prajna” is a Buddhist term that means (roughly) 'inner flight.' So here’s what that means to me. In the modern world, I believe there is a powerful, yet widely undiagnosed, sentiment of escapism.
		So, Prajna, to me is the act of attempting an escape from the this crippling desire to be complete and to gain this completeness from a bunch of shit that is basically full of shit, and also, a simultaneous acceptance and rebellion against the de-humanizing of the modern world.

	About Prajna
		In 1986 Prajna was introduced to non-dual wisdom through a non-denominational community that emphasized the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, Nirsadagatta Maharaj, Anandamayama, Christ, Bankei, Buddha, and similar Sages and Mystics.
		At the core of Prajna’s work is seeing and dissolving unconscious patterns that are innocently passed on from one generation to the next and add to our collective unconsciousness and prevent spirit from fully embodying human form.
		Prajna holds deep appreciation to Adyashanti, who has offered her invaluable assistance as a mentor and friend.

		Prajna is represented iconographically by the feminine deity Prajnaparamita and the masculine deity Manjushri.
		Prajna has to do with cultivating inquisitiveness of mind, cultivating deep understanding that is not a mere credential but transforms who we are altogether.

	Interpretative Outline of the Heart of Prajna Paramita Sutra
		The heart of prajna paramita is synonymous to the pure mind in Zen, or the Buddha nature or bringing forth the Bodhi mind; all of these are reached only when one is enlightened.
		It indicates the efficacy of the perfect wisdom of prajna which is to clearly perceive the essential nature, emptiness and thus to eliminate all attachments.
		Prajna is inherent from the pure mind and in fact the pure mind transcends all dharmas so it is called ¡§powerful¡¨.

	What Exactly is Prajna Transcendental Wisdom

	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.
		This prajna paramita is not subsumable within the sphere of the aggregates, [sense] realms or [sense] bases.

		Superficial prajna is limited to an understanding of the Four Truths and the Twelve Links of Conditioned Causation (pratityasamutpada) as studied in the Hinayana, the Small Vehicle.

		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.
		Prajna paramita is, therefore, the Essential Wisdom and the center of all kinds of prajña.
		That is the deep Prajna, the awe-inspiring wisdom: It is beyond discriminating knowledge, has to be, since discrimination is one of the manifestations of duality, or birth and death.
