一、前言 Introduction
此文主要依”六祖壇經 般若品第二“，來解說 “摩訶般若波羅蜜多” 的真實義。”般若“是佛經最重要的 一個術語，譯為 “大智慧”，是 “諸佛之母“。
The main purpose of this article is to explain the true meaning of “Maha Prajñā Paramita”, in accordance with “The Altar Sutra of Sixth Patriarch, Chapter 2 On Prajñā”. ” Prajñā ” is the most important terminology of the Buddhist scriptures. It is translated as “great wisdom” and is the Mother of the Buddhas.

“摩訶般若波羅蜜多”是「以佛法的智慧到達解脫的彼岸之上」。即由文字聞修而親證般若智慧，超越生死輪迴苦海，到達不生不滅的究竟解脫的極樂世界。
“Maha Prajñā Paramita” means “through the wisdom of Dharma to reach the other shore of liberation.” That is, by using of characters or scripture to “listen, contemplate, and reflect”, to attain prajñā wisdom, surpass the life and death cycle, and reach the realm of liberation, a “Bliss Pure Land”.

此文以中英對照來解說，是專為不會讀說中文，或雖中英雙修，但未讀過佛經者而作。
