It is one of the most important terms in Buddhist thought, occurring in a variety of contexts. In Buddhist epistemology, prajñā is listed as one of the five mental concomitants (caitta) that accompany all virtuous (kuśala) states of mind. It is associated with correct, analytical discrimination of the various factors (dharma) enumerated in the Buddhist teachings (dharmapravicaya). In this context, prajñā refers to the capacity to distinguish between the faults and virtues of objects in such a way as to overcome doubt. [[rigpa:Wisdom]] प्रज्ञा wisdom Insight. PrajñA. (I believe the English word insight should be reserved for translating prajñA and not as is usually done translating lhag mthong (vipazyana vipassana). The latter term could just as well be translated 'further vision ' 'deepening vision' or the like.) In some MahAyAna contexts it would be best to translate as Transcendent Insight. discriminative awareness prajna knowledge (sometimes contrasted to ye shes as intellectual knowledge vs (religious) wisdom but sometimes = shes rab pha rol phyin and contrasted w shes yon giving a similar meaning w shes rab = wisdom) know-highest wisdom (supreme) knowledge sublime knowing/ wisdom transcendent knowledge sublime intelligence prajñā Noun sherab bān ruò jñāna prajñā Three types of wisdom (''prajñā'') are distinguished in Buddhist teachings: wisdom developed through study or learning, wisdom developed through reflection or analysis, and wisdom developed through cultivation or meditation.
