Thank you for these Jundo. One can read about the basics, but having an introduction like this from a teacher is invaluable.

Thank you Jundo, wonderful to get back to the basics sometimes! Instead of the Wheel of Dharma I'd like to see a Pianica of Dharma sometimes too.

This is pure gold right now and it feels like Jundo is teaching me live!

Are you there, Jundo???

The 8 fold path is the key to so many important Zen practices I like how it's explained as a musical scale. Each path is individually important, but when combined they are even better. Looking at the path as a lifestyle makes it more than just something that is stopped and started

Thank you, Jundo. I am marking Hitman off my potential career list today.

In Nishijima/Cross Shobogenzo, the excerpt in Maka-Hannya-Haramiysu, it reads

Prajna, or real wisdom, is a kind of intuitive ability that occurs in our body and mind, when our body and mind are in the state of balance and harmony.

I also see prajna is the first two “spokes” of View and Intention.

Is prajna on its own different than maha-prajna? As in great wisdom is body and mind, wisdom is view and intention?

I believe that prajna (Wisdom) and maha-prajna (Great Wisdom) are one and the same. Some other schools of Buddhism might quibble about word definitions, but for us Zen folks ... Wisdom is just Wisdom ...

Thank you, Jundo. Since posting my question, I've been glancing over some discourses on Wisdom and I see many mentions of it being used both ways as well.

Today has been a lesson on language and navigating translations
