The "Perfection of Wisdom," or Prajna Paramita, is a crucial concept in Mahayana Buddhism expressed in writings that serve as the foundation for in-depth philosophical study and practice. Personified as a goddess, Prajna Paramita represents the wisdom that recognizes all things as being devoid of inherent existence, a recognition that is essential to achieving enlightenment. The teachings of the "Mother of All Buddhas" state that she is the mother from which the enlightened mind emerges.
