In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraVidyācaraṇasaṃpanna (विद्याचरणसंपन्न) is a synonym for the Buddha according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter IV).
Why is he called Pi tch’e tchö lo na san pan na (Vidyācaraṇasaṃpanna), i.e., “endowed with knowledges (vidyā) and practices (caraṇa)”?
The three knowledges (vidyā) are: 1) the memory of former existences, 2) the divine eye, 3) the destruction of the impurities. By practices (caraṇa) we mean here physical and vocal acts (kāyavākkarman). For the Buddha alone, physical and vocal acts are perfect (saṃpanna); in all others, they present faults. He is therefore called Vidyacaraṇasaṃpanna
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
