The Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, The Prajnaparamita, is a
collection of about forty texts. They were composed in India
between approximately 100 BC and AD 600. Those contained within
this volume are among the shorter ones; they are also some of the
most well known such as The Heart Sutra and The Diamond Sutra.The
Prajnaparamita texts are central to the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle
tradition of Buddhism which today includes the Zen and Tibetan
traditions. They are a magnificent work which offer guidance to
those who wish to plumb the depths of their own mind and come face
to face with the reality of existence by realising the truth of the
Buddha's deep teachings on Emptiness and Great Wisdom.Dr Edward
Conze (1904-1979) was the author of many books and the translator
of much of the Prajnaparamita texts. He served on the faculties of
several universities in Britain and the United States inlcuding
Oxford, London, and California. Not only was he a great Buddhist
scholar but also a serious practitioner, and his translations are
very highly regarded.
