Five wisdoms (Tib. yeshe nga; Wyl. ye shes lnga) — five aspects of primordial wisdom (Tib. yeshe). They are as follows:

  1. wisdom of dharmadhatu
  2. mirror-like wisdom
  3. wisdom of equality
  4. wisdom of discernment
  5. all-accomplishing wisdom


These five wisdoms may be condensed into two:

  • ‘the wisdom that knows the nature of all phenomena’ which comprises the wisdom of the dharmadhatu, mirror-like wisdom and the wisdom of equality; and
  • ‘the wisdom that knows the multiplicity of phenomena’ which comprises discriminating and all-accomplishing wisdom.


They can all be condensed into a single wisdom, the wisdom of omniscience.
