ABSTRACT
“Perfection of Insight” is the translation of the term prajñāpāramitā, but not here employed in its sense of a certain body of Buddhist literature, namely the prajñāpāramitā scriptures. The present discussion of prajñāpāramitā will show that it is through misunderstanding the role of this faculty that the status of Buddhist Tantra has been falsely explained, as though Mahāyāna Buddhism and Tantra under the name of Mantrayāna are two distinct and different things.
