The last in the Series ” The Sacred Feminine: Women in Tibetan Buddhism”

Talk 9: Prajnaparamita.Although Prajnaparamita, the Mother of Wisdom, enters the tradition earlier than some of the figures in our earlier talks, she is especially important as a female personification of ultimate wisdom, a fitting end to this series on the sacred feminine.
