When explaining the general meaning according to the sutras and the common teachings, "wisdom" means knowledge (prajna) which is primordially free from defilement, the basic state of emptiness. The word "essence" or hridaya means "extract" or "supreme," and is therefore compassion, the supreme path which is indispensible for accomplishing buddhahood. (Light of Wisdom, vol. 1, pg.28. [RY]
