The Five Wisdoms According to Khenpo Ngakchung
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

According to the oral tradition of Khenchen Ngaga:
The realisation of the natural state of all phenomena & the true nature (or ‘as-it-isness’) of the mind, which is the absolute sphere of reality, is the wisdom of dharmadhātu.
The unobstructed clarity of rigpa’s naturally arising radiance is the mirror-like wisdom.
The realisation that all phenomena have always been of ‘equal taste’ within great rigpa-awareness is the wisdom of equality.
The understanding of all relative phenomena, the things themselves (as opposed to their nature), without confusing or mixing them up, by means of the intelligence that is part of rigpa’s expressive power (tsal), is the wisdom of discernment.
That these are all realised without any of the effort or exertion of the ordinary mind, but as a great, spontaneous accomplishment, is the all-accomplishing wisdom.
