Jñanasattva
(Redirected from Jñānasattva)
Jñanasattva (Skt. jñānasattva; Tib. ཡེ་ཤེས་སེམས་དཔའ་་, yeshe sempa, Wyl. ye shes sems dpa’), 'wisdom being', is:
- The actual wisdom deities you invite to come and bless the deities of the mandala you have visualized.
- It also refers to the deity visualized in the heart centre of the samayasattva.
The buddhas invited from [their buddha fields] are called "jñānasattvas" (wisdom beings) because they have abandoned all their obscurations, are complete with all good qualities, and have perfected their wisdom. Therefore they are called jnanasattvas.[1]
