“According to Shaw, Prajñāpāramitā was "regarded as the 'mother' of all beings who attain enlightenment, for it is her wisdom that engenders liberation. She is the supreme teacher and eternal font of revelation...Even Buddhas and bodhisattvas pay homage to her, because to her they owe their omniscience." As such, one of her main titles is "Mother of All Buddhas"”
