　　Earlier, purity and impurity were described as the presence or absence of pure and impure conceptualisations that distinguish an awakened mind from ordinary involvement in life. Rangjung Dorje explained the wisdoms that prevail when impurity has been thoroughly eliminated and when the radiance of the true nature clearly shines forth. The types of wisdom that adorn a Buddha are discriminating wisdom, wisdom that accomplishes actions, wisdom of equality, and lasting wisdom.

　　Discriminating Wisdom

　　If (the “mental events” of the Buddhas) were not like that,

　　The activity of the form kayas would cease.

　　However, they are not given the name “mental events,”

　　But (the name) “discriminating wisdom.”

　　The nature of discriminating wisdom is the primal ability to spontaneously and uninterruptedly see the delusions, sorrows, and wants that burden every inpidual, each in his and her own way. Any differences between the great variety of sentient beings and among people are not intellectually inferred by a Buddha, rather are directly perceived with his visionary wisdom, i.e., he sees distinctions and differences with his eye of discriminating wisdom. In the section on the unsurpassable qualities of the dharmakaya, we saw that the Buddha nature embraces strength, courage, and wisdom that is naturally saturated with limitless love and compassion. Discriminating wisdom is awareness of the vast array of situations and conditions that living beings encounter and endure while in two of the three states of existence, the impure and the partly pure.

　　Discriminating wisdom is seeing and realizing what each living being really needs in order to become free from a disorderly life in samsaric confusion and what they really need in order to find happiness and to keep it. Discriminating wisdom is a dynamic energy and activity that also manifests within the scope of causality, which is marked by creation and cessation, i.e., discriminating wisdom arises, abides, and ceases again. A Buddha appears in the world defined by those who suffer under the perplexities of renewal, regeneration, dissolution, and death and who need the steady flow of wisdom that evokes and rouses their best efforts to worthy themselves and make a difference. A Buddha manifests to heedfully care for those abiding in impure states and who are receptive for an immaculate refuge and reliable guide possessing discriminating wisdom that can unmistakably help.

　　A Buddha”s discriminating wisdom only arises, stays a while, and ceases again because everything appears to do so for all those perceiving the world conditionally, i.e., relatively. If a Buddha”s wisdom did not reveal itself to someone purged in conditioned success and failure, then his wisdom could not permeate those who suffer under the impact that every appearance and experience arises, abides, and ceases again. The sambhogakaya and nirmanakaya of a wondrous Buddha manifest for the sole purpose of benefiting those not deaf to hope and does not arise outside causality. However, the appearance of a Buddha”s omniscience is not due to what is known as “mental events,” rather it is based upon discriminating wisdom, which renders wisdom that accomplishes actions.

　　Wisdom that Accomplishes Actions

　　The nature of the material elements

　　Is (either) accompanied by clinging (or) their powerful essence is manifested.

　　There is no difference whatsoever in appearances

　　To the deluded and the undeluded.

　　The (only) difference is the presence or absence of clinging to dualism.

　　If that was not so,

　　How could the Buddhas apply their activity

　　Generally speaking, there are the five sense organs and the five objects that appear to the sensory faculties; they were…
