respects to your elders and masters is the fundamental tenet of all eastern traditions. Hrdaya is ‘heart’ and sutra is a thread that ties everything together, just like string in a necklace of pearls. Prajna Paramita are the most important words. Paramita11 is transcendental: beyond the grasp of the senses, human intelligence or consciousness. Its literary meaning is perfection. Prajna means intuitive understanding. And this is what you really have to understand about meditation: there is nothing to understand. It is not knowledge you acquire.
