08 | Precise knowing (Prajna)

from PRAJNA SPARKS Hosted by Prajna Fire

Prajna, or precise knowing in Sanskrit: what is it, how does Buddhist practice cultivate it, and how does it relate to transcending insight. Lama Zopa guides an experiential practice beginning with shamatha (English: tranquility, or calm abiding) and leading into meditative inquiry, an insight practice from the Tibetan that invokes, instills, and integrates prajna, precise knowing.
