sarva-jña-jñāna (Sanskrit). ‘All-knowing Awareness’. The all-encompassing awareness unique to a Buddha. According to later Mahāyāna exegesis, this comprises the Mirror-like Awareness (ādarśa-jñāna), Investigating Awareness (pratyavekṣaṇa-jñāna) and the Awareness that Accomplishes Activities (kṛty-anuṣṭhāna-jñāna) that arise in the instant after enlightenment (bodhi) is attained.
