Commentary
Avalokitesvara, a Sankrit word, means "Contemplating at Ease". Bodhisattva is the one who acts to enlighten the sentient beings. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, with an unimpeded mind, has no worry and therefore can contemplate at ease. Profound Prajna paramita is an understanding and analysis of all form-dharmas and mind-dharma through contemplations. Form-dharma refers to perceptable objects making up the first of the Five Skandhas, matter. The remaining four Skandhas, namely sensation (feeling), recognition (cognition), volition (mental formation) and consciousness, are all mind-dharmas. Profound Prajna paramita is a wonderful wisdom attained through cultivation and practising of meditation and contemplation. Prajna-paramita is one of the Six Paramita practised by all Bodhisattva.
