Note: Body of sutras and their commentaries that represents the oldest of the major forms of Mahayana Buddhism, one that radically extended the basic concept of ontological voidness (shunyata). The name denotes the female personification of the literature or of wisdom, sometimes called the Mother of All Buddhas. The main creative period of Prajnaparamita thought extended from perhaps 100 BCE to 150 CE. | |
