Five wisdoms

The Five Wisdoms are five kinds of wisdoms which appear when the mind is purified of the five disturbing emotions and the natural mind appears.

All of those five wisdoms are represented by one of the five buddha-families.

The last four these five are also called the "four wisdoms" (四智).

Pañca-jñāna is rendered in English as: "five wisdoms," "five awarenesses," or "five pristine cognitions."[citation needed]

The Five Wisdoms are:

The Five Wisdoms "emerge through a transformation (parāvṛtti) of the eight consciousnesses at the moment of enlightenment".

The idea of the Five Wisdoms "underwent a considerable development" within Vajrayana Buddhism where they are "symbolized or embodied" in the Five Tathāgatas.

According to Bönpo teacher Tenzin Wangyal, the Five Pure Lights become the Five Poisons if we remain deluded, or the Five Wisdoms and the Five Buddha Families if we recognize their purity.
