The five wisdoms each express a distinct quality of awakened cognition associated with one of the buddhas of the five families. The five are (1) the wisdom of the dharmadhātu (dharmadhātujñāna; chos kyi dbyings kyi ye shes), (2) mirror-like wisdom (ādarśajñāna; me long lta bu’i ye shes), (3) the wisdom of equality (samatājñāna; mnyam nyid ye shes), (4) the wisdom of thorough discrimination (pratyavekṣaṇājñāna; so sor rtog pa’i ye shes), and (5) the wisdom of accomplishing activities (kṛtyānuṣṭhānajñāna; bya ba grub pa’i ye shes).
