Sarvajnata (Buddhism)
- Omniscience
Description
In Mahayana Buddhism this is an awareness of all things - [dharmas]
- and of their true nature which is [sunyata]
(emptiness). This is identical to [jnana]
- wisdom. In [Hinayana]
Buddhism, [sarvajnata]
is limited to knowledge of all that is necessary for liberation, since no other knowledge is necessary and was in fact rejected by Buddha.
