Heart Advice

Prajñāpāramitā in Buddhism, means "the Perfection of (Transcendent) Wisdom." It is a central concept in Buddhism and its practice and understanding are taken to be indispensable elements of the Bodhisaatva Path.

A Bodhisattva is an enlightenment being. Traditionally, a bodhisattva is anyone who, motivated by great compassion, has generated a spontaneous wish to attain  Buddahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.
