From the perspective of Mahayana ( or Mahabodhi - Greater enlightened wisdom ) , it's practitioners seek to become the training Bodhisattvas ( or Mahayana saints ) for the salvation of oneself and for the others.

It this respect, these trainning Bodhisattvas (for enlightening beings) are required to fullfil the 6 or 10 perfection ( Paramita, Paramis ) . And the Perfection of Wisdom ( Prajna-paramita ) in one's mind - is seen as the key/mother to the rest of the other Perfection ( Paramita )

That's why the series of wisdom sutras teaching is seem as the connecting teaching ( between the Nikaya to Mahayana ) and the common foundation for all the teaching for Mahayana schools
