般若(bōrě)

梵文prajñā的音譯(或譯為“波若”)。意為“智慧”，指能洞見(jiàn)一切事物本性、認(rèn)識(shí)萬(wàn)物真相的最高的智慧。佛教認(rèn)為，“般若”是超越一切世俗認(rèn)識(shí)的特殊智慧，是覺(jué)悟得道、修成佛或菩薩的所有修行方法的指南或根本。然而，這種智慧本身無(wú)形無(wú)相，不可言說(shuō)，僅能依賴(lài)各種方便法門(mén)而有所領(lǐng)悟。

Buddhist Wisdom

The term is the transliteration of the Sanskrit word prajñā, meaning wisdom. It refers to the supreme wisdom with insight into the nature and reality of all things. Buddhism believes that such wisdom surpasses all secular understandings, and therefore is the guide for or essence of the effort aimed at achieving enlightenment and attaining Buddhahood or bodhisattvahood. This wisdom has no form, no appearance, and cannot be expressed in words. It can only be achieved by undertaking a variety of accessible Buddhist practices.
