Are you sure that Prajnaparamita is also part of Theravada Buddhism? My impression is that it is only found in Mahayana scriptures. Cem-uk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cem-uk ( talk • contribs) 12:46, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
Prajnaparamita (Tib. Sherchinma)
The Buddha embodying the resultant perfection of wisdom of all the Buddhas.
Der Buddha der die entgültige vollkommene Weisheit aller Buddhas verkörpert.

I rewrote and reorganized the introduction for purposes of style and clarity. I made it shorter for one thing, and got rid of some repetition and so on. I wasn't trying to change the substance or say anything controversial. OldMonkeyPuzzle ( talk) 21:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
There is a section called "Prajnaparamita School" that was merged from a page bearing this title. As I understand it, there is no evidence that the Prajnaparamita sutras or philosophy ever comprised a school of their own. It has been widely acknowledged that the first stand-alone school of Mahayana philosophy was the Madhyamaka school of Nagarjuna. Before this point, there was no systematic view of Mahayana philosophy in the form of philosophical discourses (shastras), nor any formal affiliation of any kind with a school of "Prajnaparamita philosophy." If some sort of evidence cannot be given for the existence of such a school, this section should be removed. Tengu800 ( talk) 21:30, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
The Tibetan for this term was already in the language box, and is superfluous in the intro to the article. The material removed is below for reference:
Standard Tibetan: ཤེར་ཕྱིན་, ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་, sherchin; Wylie sher phyin, sherab kyi parol tu shinpa

I need to take issue with the use of the word "translation" in this context.
The box at the left lists several "translations" of the phrase, yet the only one that is not a transliteration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration seems to be English. I do not know Sanskrit, but I do know Thai, and given that much of Thai is based both semantically and in its orthography on Sanskrit/Pali, it might be more appropriate to call the Thai version given on this page a "rendering" rather than a translation. The sound is almost the same as "prajna paramita." I also know Chinese, and can say definitively that 般若波罗蜜多 is simply a transliteration of "prajna paramita."
I'd like to suggest we move the page from Prajnaparamita back to Perfection of Wisdom as the English term is very common and certainly clearer. Ogress smash! 16:33, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Oppose I agree with Joshua Jonathan. Although also consider moving to "Prajnaparamita Sutras". VictoriaGrayson Talk 23:54, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
