A buddha's wisdom is of two kinds: first, real wisdom; second, expedient wisdom. Real wisdom has two aspects: first, real phenomena; second, real wisdom. Real phenomena also have two aspects: first, real in essence, namely the conditioned and the unconditioned; second, real in truth, namely the sublime principle of tathatā. Real wisdom is also like this: First, wisdom real in essence, which is the uncontaminated true wisdom that contemplates what is real in essence; contrasted with the false wisdom of ordinary beings that lacks knowledge, it is called real wisdom; both fundamental wisdom and subsequently attained wisdom are this. Second, wisdom that realizes the real truth, which is exclusively the wisdom of the true essence. This has five pairs: first, contrasted with knowing the false, it is called real wisdom; second, contrasted with knowing concrete facts, it is called real wisdom; third, contrasted with knowing characteristics, it is called real wisdom; fourth, contrasted with knowing expressions, it is called real wisdom. These four kinds of real wisdom are all solely the contemplation of the fourth true wisdom, and the other four counterparts are in order the four conventional wisdoms. Fifth, contrasted with the wisdom that knows the provisional, it is called real wisdom, namely the principle and wisdom of the Single Vehicle contrasted with the wisdom that knows the two provisional vehicles. This is based on realizing wisdom, pairing the fourth true wisdom with the latter three conventional wisdoms; if based on entering wisdom, it pairs the third true wisdom with the third conventional wisdom. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.3.3) - [Next: 3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.3.5) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.3.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.3.4) · Pramāṇa
