Understanding Prajna: Sengzhao's "Wild Words" and the Search for Wisdom (American University Studies VII: Theology and Religion) Book

Can enlightenment be attained through words? Understanding Prajñ addresses this perennial issue in the study of mysticism through the work of Sengzhao (374414), a Buddhist scholar-monk whose essay on prajñ (wisdom) created a sensation in early medieval China. Drawing on contemporary hermeneutic theory, this book presents a close reading of Sengzhaos work, placing it in proper context while highlighting his masterful techniques for conveying wisdom beyond ordinary language. Understanding Prajñ includes translations of Sengzhaos essay and his correspondence with Liu Yimin, a hermit-scholar who yearned to grasp the Buddhas sage wisdom.Read More
