The Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) Sutra

The entire Prajnaparamita is a series of about 40 works, expanded upon and then condensed by many anonymous authors. Most probably were composed at the beginning of the Common Era. The Diamond and Heart sutras are well-known condensations of the Prajnaparamita.
