three kinds of wisdom-knowledge (三智).
These are
(1) the overall wisdom-knowledge (sarvajña, 一切智), which is the emptiness of everything, realized by an Arhat, a Pratyekabuddha, and a holy Bodhisattva;
(2) discriminatory wisdom-knowledge (道種智), which is developed in a holy Bodhisattva, who differentiates all displays of illusory existence in order to deliver sentient beings; and
(3) knowledge of all knowledge (sarvajña-jñāna, 一切種智) or omniscience, which is a Buddha’s perfect wisdom-knowledge of all beings and all things in their general and particular aspects, and of the non-duality of emptiness and myriad displays.
