dharmadhātujñāna (T. chos kyi dbyings kyi ye shes ཆོས་ཀྱི་དབྱིངས་ཀྱི་ཡེ་ཤེས་; C. fajie tixing zhi 法界體性智) is translated as "wisdom of dharmadhatu", etc. One of the five types of wisdom that are experienced by the buddhas.
It is "the bare non-conceptualizing awareness" of śūnyatā, the universal substrate of the other four of the five wisdoms.[1]
Khenpo Ngawang Pelzang states:
- The wisdom of the dharmadhatu is the realization of the absolute truth, the natural state of all things.[2]
The Khenjuk states:
- Dharmadhatu-wisdom, the transformation of the all-ground, is indivisible from dharmadhatu. Like space, it pervades and permeates all objects of knowledge; thus, it is the ultimate basis for the designations 'essence-body' and 'dharma-body'.[3]
It is also called the tathatā-jñāna (wisdom of tathatā).[1]
Alternative translations
- wisdom of all-encompassing space
