14-September-2008 12:50:33 - Wisdoms The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help improve the article with a good introductory style. M a h a y a n a B u d d h i s m Lands Bhutan China Korea Japan Tibet Vietnam Taiwan Mongolia Doctrine Bodhisattva Bodhicitta Karuna Prajna Sunyata Buddha Nature Trikaya Eternal Buddha Mahayana Sutras Prajnaparamita Sutras Avatamsaka Sutra Lotus Sutra Nirvana Sutra VimalakÄ«rti Sutra Lankavatara Sutra History Silk Road Nagarjuna Asanga Vasubandhu Bodhidharma Portal view talk The Five Wisdoms Sanskrit: pañca-jñÄ?na; Tibetan: ye_shes_lnga ye shes lgna1; Japanese: go-chi is an upÄ?ya or 'skillful means' doctrine of Mahayana Buddhism. The Five Wisdoms may be understood as the indivisible 'continuüm of bodhi ' Sanskrit: citta santana, especially according to YogÄ?carÄ? based MahÄ?yÄ?na doctrines, ultimately derived from the BuddhabhÅ«mi SÅ«tra.2 Capriles 2003: p.197 in discussing the 'view' Sanskrit: drishti of the Inner Tantras of the Third Turning of the Dharmachakra states that: Concerning the principally inner or outer character of the teachings contained in sutras of the Third Promulgation, definitively the more inner ones are those that teach that all that manifests or appears, either as subject or as object, is based on primordial gnosis Skt., jñana; Tib., yeshe ye-shes rather than on mind, and that emphasize the fact that consciousness is a conditioned, delusive, impermanent appearance that disappears upon Awakening.3 In the abovementioned quotation, consciousness is to be understood as an English rendering of vijñÄ?na Sanskrit as in the Eight Consciousnesses and all that manifests or appears is to be understood as 'phenomena' or dharmas Sanskrit in Buddhist phenomenology. JñÄ?na Sanskrit is rendered into English as 'primordial gnosis'. In addition, for clarity mind in this instance is an English rendering of citta Sanskrit that may be viewed as either 'absolute' and/or 'relative' according to the Doctrine of the Two Truths. Awakening is an English rendering of bodhi Sanskrit.

Pañca-jñÄ?na The pañca-jñÄ?na are: TathatÄ?-jñÄ?na Ä€darÅ›a-jñÄ?na SamatÄ?-jñÄ?na Pratyaveká¹£aṇa-jñÄ?na Ká¹›ty-anuá¹£á¹hÄ?na-jñÄ?na TathatÄ?-jñÄ?na Keown, et. al. 2003 hold that the TathatÄ?-jñÄ?na is the jñÄ?na of Suchness or DharmadÄ?tu4, the bare non-conceptualizing awareness of ŚūnyatÄ?, the universal substrate of the other four jñÄ?na.5 Ä€darÅ›a-jñÄ?na Keown, et. al. 2003 hold that the Ä€darÅ›a-jñÄ?na is the jñÄ?na of Mirror-like Awareness, devoid of all dualistic thought and ever united with its 'content' as a mirror is with its reflections.6 Ä€darÅ›a is Sanskrit for mirror, the term may be parsed into the etymon of darÅ›ana with a grammatical adposition. Kalupahana 1991: p.99 proffers that: SamatÄ? is also identical with the second Ä?darÅ›a when samatÄ? becomes the non-duality of upÄ?ya and prajñÄ?.7 SamatÄ?-jñÄ?na Keown, et. al. 2003 hold that the SamatÄ?-jñÄ?na is the jñÄ?na of the Awareness of Sameness, which perceives the sameness, the commonality of dharmas or phenomena.8 Kalupahana 1991: p.99 proffers that: The TattvÄ?loka says The wisdom of equality of TathÄ?gata is the non-dual method of upÄ?ya and prajñÄ?, and it is the wisdom of the universal that can be tasted in the dharmÄ?dhtu. 9 Pratyaveká¹£aṇa-jñÄ?na Keown, et. al. 2003 hold that the Pratyaveká¹£aṇa-jñÄ?na is the jñÄ?na the Investigative Awareness, that perceives the specificity, the uniqueness of dharmas. 10 Ká¹›ty-anuá¹£á¹hÄ?na-jñÄ?na Keown, et. al. 2003 hold that the Ká¹›ty-anuá¹£á¹hÄ?na-jñÄ?na is the jñÄ?na of Accomplishing Activities, the awareness that spontaneously carries out all that has to be done for the welfare of beings, manifesting itself in all directions.11 Historical development of the Five Wisdoms Emergence of Pañca-jñÄ?na Kalupahana 1991: p.99 in drawing together the BuddhabhÅ«mi-sutra, BuddhabhÅ«mi-vyÄ?khyÄ?na, Åšilabhadra, TathÄ?gata, upÄ?ya, prajñÄ?, nonduality, Tattvasaṃgraha, TattvÄ?loka, svabhÄ?va, dharmdhÄ?tu, BhÄ?vanÄ?krama, nirmÄ?ṇakÄ?ya, sambhogakÄ?ya and dharma-kÄ?ya and the Five Wisdoms states: The idea that upÄ?ya and prajñÄ? are non-dual is also expressed in the commentary on the Tattvasaṃgraha. The TattvÄ?loka says The wisdom of equality of TathÄ?gata is the non-dual method of upÄ?ya and prajñÄ?, and it is the wisdom of the universal that can be tasted in the dharmÄ?dhtu. In the Chinese version of the BhÄ?vanÄ?krama, there is a final section outlining the relationship between the three-fold buddha-kÄ?ya and the five-fold wisdom of the TathÄ?gatas. The five-fold wisdom of the TathÄ?gatas are dharmadhÄ?tu-svabhÄ?va, Ä?darÅ›a, samatÄ?, pratyaveká¹£aṇa, and ká¹›tyÄ?nusthÄ?na. Each type of wisdom is associated with five Buddhas, i.e., dharmadhÄ?tu-svabhÄ?va with MahÄ?vairocana, Ä?darÅ›a with Aká¹£obhya, samatÄ? with Ratnasambhava, pratyaveká¹£aṇa with AmitÄ?yus, and ká¹›tyÄ?nusthÄ?na with Amoghasiddhi. Kamalasila further explains that the first two forms of wisdom dharmadhÄ?tu-svabhÄ?va and Ä?darÅ›a belong to dharma-kÄ?ya, samatÄ? and pratyaveká¹£aṇa to sambhogakÄ?ya, and the last ká¹›tyÄ?nusthÄ?na to nirmÄ?ṇakÄ?ya. The theory of the five-fold wisdom and its relation to the Buddha-kÄ?ya was originally formulated in the BuddhabhÅ«mi-sutra and the BuddhabhÅ«mi-vyÄ?khyÄ?na by Åšilabhadra.12 Five Wisdoms and the Six Perfections Kalupahana 1991: p.99 in linking the Six Perfections, upÄ?ya, prajñÄ? and moká¹£a proffers that: Kamalasila concluded that the first five perfections correspond to the upÄ?ya and the last to prajñÄ?. When upÄ?ya and prajñÄ? are perfectly united, then moká¹£a or perfect liberation of mind will result. 13 YogÄ?carÄ? refinement of the Pañca-jñÄ?na Keown, et. al. 2003 identify a relationship between the Pañca-jñÄ?na and the Eight Consciousnesses of YogÄ?carÄ? thought: the Pañca-jñÄ?na emerge through a transformation parÄ?vá¹›tti of the eight consciousnesses at the moment of enlightenment.14 Vajrayana Buddhism Part of a series on Tibetan Buddhism History Timeline · Related-topics Schools Nyingma · Kagyu · Sakya · Gelug · Bön Key Concepts Three marks of existence Skandha · Cosmology SaṃsÄ?ra · Rebirth · Bodhisattva ·Dharma · Dependent Origination · Karma Major Figures Gautama Buddha ·Padmasambhava·Je Tsongkhapa · Dalai Lama · Panchen Lama · Lama ·Karmapa Lama · Rinpoche · Geshe · Terton · Tulku Practices and Attainment Buddhahood · AvalokiteÅ›vara Four Stages of Enlightenment · Tantric yoga · Paramitas · Mation · Laity Major Monasteries Changzhug · Drepung · Dzogchen · Ganden · Jokhang · Kumbum · Labrang· Mindroling · Namgyal · Narthang · Nechung · Palcho· Ralung · Ramoche · Sakya · Sanga · Sera · Shalu · Shechen · Tashilhunpo · Tsurphu · Yerpa Major Festivals Chotrul Duchen· Dajyur· Losar · Monlam· Sho Dun Texts Kangyur ·Tengyur ·Tibetan Canon ·Mahayana Sutras Art Sandpainting ·Thangka ·Ashtamangala ·Tree of physiology Comparative Studies Culture · List of topics Portal:Tibetan Buddhism This box: view talk Keown, et. al. 2003 identify that the Pañca-jñÄ?na underwent a considerable development within Tibetan Buddhism where they are symbolized or embodied in the Five Jinas.15 In elucidating the Twilight Language, Tenzin Wangyal holds that the Five Pure Lights become the Five Poisons if we remain deluded, or the Five Wisdoms and the Five Buddha Families if we recognize their purity.16 See also Achintya Bheda Abheda DarÅ›ana Dhyani Buddhas Five Powers Mahabhuta Pancamakara Pancatattva Notes ^ ye shes lgna Rangjung Yeshe Dictionary ^ Keown, Damien ed. with Hodge, Stephen; Jones, Charles; Tinti, Paola 2003.
