According to Jigme Lingpa, wisdom can be divided into twenty-five categories, as there are five different forms of wisdom present in each continuum of the five buddha families. [YT 431] More commonly, however, five forms of wisdom are taught. Dudjom Rinpoche explains that the wisdom of the basic space of phenomena is that which realizes how things really are, whereas the four subsequent wisdoms - mirrorlike wisdom, the wisdom of equality, discerning wisdom, and all-accomplishing wisdom - in their function of supporting and depending upon the former comprise the wisdom that comprehends all that exists. It has also been explained that the first wisdom mentioned above refers to the ultimate, while the latter four relate to the relative. [NS 140] +
