Abhijna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abhijna in Buddhism is spiritual knowledge or supernatural abilities, obtained by meditation. The first five types of Abhijna, are identical to the siddhis of yoga, mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam:
- Knowing the past, present and future;
- Tolerance of heat, cold and other dualities;
- Knowing the minds of others;
- Checking the influence of fire, sun, water, poison, and so on;
- Remaining unconquered by others.
The sixth type is the ultimate goal of Buddhism, which is the end of all suffering and destruction of all ignorance.[1][2]
