Babette Teich-ViscoGUEST
Yeah, well, it is based to the whole practice is based on the Prajnaparamita, the whole doctrine of emptiness.
Babette Teich-ViscoGUEST
So it's a good idea before you do the practice that you've got some practice with um, you know, uh, visualizing the, the, um, the emptiness of self and phenomena.
Babette Teich-ViscoGUEST
So that's something that people should train in, you know, before they, before they do that.
Tenzen David ZimmermanGUEST
In our class on Monday nights, I brought this up before, there is the six Mahayana paramitas that I just offered you.
Tenzen David ZimmermanGUEST
And these are drawn from texts such as the Lotus Sutra and the Large Sutra on the Perfection of Wisdom.
Tenzen David ZimmermanGUEST
And there's actually a Mahayana list of ten paramitas.
Tenzen David ZimmermanGUEST
So somewhere along the way, the Mahayana said, oh, we want ten, not just six.
Romeo ShresthaGUEST

Kyosen MarkGUEST
For one thing, we have what Hueneng calls self-nature, which is the Buddha nature of the Nirvana Sutra and other Mahayana writings.
Kyosen MarkGUEST
This self-nature in terms of the Prajnaparamita is suchness, tatata, and emptiness, sunyata.
Kyosen MarkGUEST

Kyosen MarkGUEST
Suchness is thus formlessness.

So I wanted to share this with you that there is a Bodhisattva that personifies the Prajnaparamita Sutra, and that is this lovely Bodhisattva here.
Kyosen MarkGUEST
She's known as the mother of all Buddhas.
