Great Mother Prajnaparamita is a female Buddha who is the manifestation of Buddha’s perfection of wisdom. Her function is to overcome maras – the causes of inner and outer obstacles – and to bestow the realization of the higher perfection of wisdom, which gives birth to the mind of enlightenment.
(Recordings will be available for a week to watch at your convenience)
With the blessings of the Great Mother Prajnaparamita, we have the opportunity to learn how to use our understanding of ultimate truth to purify our mind and our world. How wonderful!
