The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, Volume 2
Buddha taught The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra in sixteen assemblies in four locations over twenty-two years. It was recorded posthumously by his disciples in six hundred fascicles of approximately five million words and is regarded as the largest canon in Buddhism. For the last decade, translator Naichen Chen has worked on this sutra, and it is the only complete English translation from the Chinese Da Bo Re Bo Luo Mi Duo Jing rendered from Sanskrit about 1,350 years ago by Xuanzang (Hsüan-tsang). This is the second volume in a multivolume set. The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra is important not only because of its extensive teaching, but because it explains what the great bodhisattva, the great bodhisattva path of cultivation, and the great bodhisattva vehicle are. It depicts, manifests, and provides guidance on how one should learn to become a bodhisattva—and eventually a Buddha—transcending self-interest to reach a state of emptiness, selflessness, and nonattachment. Regardless of where you are on the path to enlightenment, you will be nourished by its parables and dialogues.

The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, Volume 6
When staying with prajna paramita, the bodhisattva-path practitioners will also absorb all superior virtuous dharmas. Owing to nonattainment, learners will be relieved from attachment and self-conceit and become humble, and their powers for removing vexations, hindrances, coverings, and bondages will also be strengthened. That is what is meant by expedient skillfulness in cultivating prajna paramita. The importance of the bodhisattvas becomes significant during the times when Thus-Comers are not present. Given that circumstance, the bodhisattvas are the only ones who can teach sentient beings correct dharma expediently and skillfully. Both great bodhisattvas and expedient skillfulness come out of prajna paramita. Because the great bodhisattvas have achieved expedient skillfulness, they are able to really practice virtuous dharmas, attain superior benefits, assist the sentient beings to mature, and dignify and purify the Buddha lands.
