Prajna — Having the right understanding
If translated into English, the Sanskrit word “prajna” means wisdom. In the Buddhist context, this is about gaining an understanding of how the world really works.
In practical terms what this means is that you need to focus on learning, and then putting what you learn into practice. For the Buddhists, this is about getting deep into studying the dharma. For us, this has meant studying philosophy, psychology, science, history, and any subject that gives an insight into how the world functions.
