bio	Prajña. [alt. Prajñā] (C. Bore; J. Hannya; K. Panya 般若). The proper name of a northwest Indian monk who arrived in the Chinese capital of Chang'an during the middle of the ninth Century. Prajña is best known for his forty-roll translation of the Gaṇḍavyūhasūtra, the lengthy final chapter of the Avataṃsakasūtra; his rendering, which was finished in 798, is thus considered the third and final (though shortest) translation of the Avataṃsakasūtra made in China. Five other translations are also attributed to Prajña and collaborators. While in China, Prajña was also associated with the Japanese monk Kūkai (774–835), the founder of the Shingonshū of Japanese esoteric Buddhism. (Source: "Prajña."
