- 慧
- (sa) prajñā ; sometimes (sa) jñāna. Wisdom, discernment, understanding; the power to discern things and their underlying principles and to decide the doubtful. It is often interchanged with [lang id =1028]智, though not correctly, for (zh) zhi means knowledge, the science of the phenomenal, while (zh) hui refers more generally to principles or morals. It is part of the name of many monks, e.g. [lang id =1028]慧可 Huike; [lang id =1028]慧思Huisi.* * *叡智的意思, 也就是確知諸法真相的智慧。
