在大乘佛學的理論中，闡揚緣起性空與智慧為核心義理的《般若經》佔有相當重要的地位。在龐大的《般若經》文獻中，包含了許多佛教哲學重要的內涵與議題，若能把握《般若經》的哲學內涵，對探究大乘佛學的理路而言，可說是奠定了相當良好的基礎。
本課程規劃為一學年的課程。課程將初步在龐大的《般若經》文獻中，選擇常見的《心經》、《金剛經》等文本，引導學生們循序漸進地進行地毯式的閱讀，養成把握《般若經》的哲學理論的能力。待同學們初步能把握《般若經》之基礎哲學理論後，將再進一步選讀《八千頌般若經》與《兩萬五千頌般若經》。
此外，獨立閱讀與詮釋原典之能力的培養更是本課程的重要目標，因此教師將引導同學盡可能同時對讀所選擇之《般若經》的漢譯、梵文、英譯文本，期能透過這樣的訓練養成同學們獨立閱讀與研究的能力。綜合以上，本課程規劃每個課題的研討均包含初步的理解、深入的討論以及引導學生獨立閱讀與詮釋相關的原典與文本等三個部份，希望藉由這樣的訓練，培養學生的批判思考與獨立研究能力。In the theory of Mahayana Buddhism, the Prajna Sutra, which expounds the core principles of dependent origination, emptiness and wisdom, occupies a very important position.
