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.
