Prajnaparamita
Prajnaparamita means "the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom" in Mahayana Buddhism. Prajnaparamita refers to this perfected way of seeing the nature of reality, as well as to a particular body of sutras and the embodiment of the concept in the Bodhisattva known as the "Great Mother" (Tibetan: Yum Chenmo). The word Prajnaparamita combines the Sanskrit words prajna "wisdom" with paramita "perfection". Prajnaparamita is a central concept in Mahayana Buddhism and is generally associated with the doctrine of emptiness (Shunyata) or 'lack of Svabhava' (essence). Its practice and understanding are taken to be an essential part of the path of the Bodhisattva. Read More
History
Astasahasrika Pajanaparmita
Earliest Prajnaparamita Sutra is Astasahasrika Pajanaparmita Sutra, which was probably put in writing in the 1st century BCE. The first translation of the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita also has a corresponding version in poetry format called the Ratnagu?asamcaya Gatha, which some believe to be slightly older because it is not written in Sanskrit. However, these findings rely on late-dating Indian texts, in which poetry and mantras are often kept in archive forms.
Mahayana Prajnaparamita teachings were first developed by the Caitika subsect of the Mahasamghikas. Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra originated amongst Mahasamghika schools and they had two copy of the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra in Prakrit Script.
In 2012, A partially damaged, Kharosthi manuscript of the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita was radiocarbon dated to 75 CE , making it one of the oldest Buddhist texts in existence.
Overview of the prajnaparamita Sutra
The teaching of Prajnaparamita is classified as inferior to superior, Based on the grade of the disciple.
For example,
The inferior was taught to the merchants, Trapusa and Bahalika because they were ordinary men,
The middle was taught to the group of people who were at the stage of becoming saints or are already saints;
The Superior [the eightfold Prajnaparamitas] were taught to bodhisattvas.
The eightfold Prajnaparamitas are the teachings of the Prajnaparamita which can be categorized as:
Trisatika Prajnaparamita Sutra :300 lines, alternatively known as the Vajracchedika Prajnaparamita Sutra (Diamond Sutra)
Pancasatika Prajnaparamita Sutra: 500 lines
Saptasatika Prajnaparamita Sutra :700 lines, the bodhisattva Manjusri's exposition of Prajnaparamita
Sardhadvisahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra : 2500 lines, from the questions of Suvikrantavikramin Bodhisattva
Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra :8000 lines
Astadasasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra :18,000 lines
Pancavimsatisahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra : 25,000 lines, alternatively known as the MahaPrajnaparamita Sutra
satasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra :100,000 lines, alternatively known as the MahaPrajnaparamita Sutra
Pancavimsatisahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra :(25,000 lines)
satasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra : (100,000 lines) have a connection with the Dharmaguptaka sect, while the Astasahasrika Prajnaparamita Sutra (8000 lines) does not.
The titles of these eight Prajnaparamita texts are given according to their length. The texts may have other Sanskrit titles as well, or different variations which may be more descriptive.
There are also other Prajnaparamita sutras the Heart Sutra (Prajnaparamita H?daya), and Diamond Sutra which exists in a shorter and longer version. these two sutras are in a class by themselves and deservedly renowned throughout the world of Northern Buddhism.
About Chocolate Oxidized
This Prajnaparamita has been meticulously treated with a chocolate color antique patina. The intention behind this patina is to replicate the appearance of a copper statue that has gracefully aged over a century. Unlike a simple coat of paint, this patina is not applied superficially and is designed to endure. It undergoes an artificial oxidation process that adds depth and character, while also serving as a protective layer against natural oxidation.
By imitating the natural aging process, the chocolate color antique patina lends an air of authenticity and vintage charm to the Prajnaparamita. This carefully crafted finish ensures that the patina remains intact for an extended period, offering longevity and resistance to wear. The result is a unique piece that captures the essence of a time-worn copper statue, evoking a sense of history and artistic heritage.
Lost-Wax System
This Prajnaparamita is made by the process of the Lost-Wax system. The lost-wax process, also known as investment casting, is a time-honored technique used to create metal sculptures. It involves several steps that have been practiced for thousands of years. Skilled artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model, capturing every intricate detail of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with a ceramic shell, formed by multiple layers of ceramic material. Once the shell has cured, the wax is melted and drained out, leaving behind a cavity. Molten metal is poured into the cavity, creating a precise replica of the original wax model. After the metal has cooled and solidified, the ceramic shell is carefully removed, revealing the final metal sculpture. Read More
