Limited Omniscience - Is Buddha All-Knowing?

Mind's Potential.

On an one of Buddhist lectures that i participated in, I've heard that Mind knows everything and enables anything.

Enabling is not automatic success yet, almost always one's wishes won't be fulfilled without serious fight for them. I think that Buddhism gives one tools for fulfilling any wish, but the price is often enormous.


Limited Omniscience.

What follows is only my own understanding, I do not know how close it is to the Truth.


Based on my observations of my own underdeveloped Buddhist Mind, I think that in a way Buddha is all-knowing.

I think that Buddha understands world & reality abstractly, and can at any moment know any detail that being(s) know.

It's limited omniscience, but I think that beings have right for privacy if they want and need it.

Perhaps when I develop more, i will understand Buddha's Mind better.

Perhaps it's far better than how i see it for now.

Wish for Thinking.

Introduction.

I think I can think.


Wishes, Feels & Sentiments.

I wish to be Buddhist/Wiccan Thinker (Intellectual) on Mahakala (Protector's) Way.

I wish to be Wise, Intelligent and Compassionate Thinker, with a healthy distance to sentimentalism.

I wish to be a Bodhisattva (one who helps to make world better, one who follows the Way to Enlightenment for benefit of all beings) on Diamond Way Buddhism's Level on Thinker's Way.

I feel that even Basic Thinker's Mental Apparatus On Diamond Way Buddhism's Level consists of many very expensive lessons. I do not want to be a parasite, however. I feel that I should be cost-efficient Thinker Aspirant and i Wish for that as well. (I think that Aspirant is Ambitious, Beneficial and Hard Working Person).

... Is it only wishful thinking?

Self-Improvement and Mind States.

I think and feel that we - living beings (humans,animals,deities,etc...) - are Mind(s), and have bodies.

Self-improvement and self-transformation would be changing one's Mind State from 'State A' to 'State B'.

This can also be explained as that one's state can move from 'Point A' to 'Point B'. One's Mind state can 'move' between Points A & B like a pawn in the board game, possibly crossing through more points (Point C, Point D, Point E... etc) in process, before reaching the desired 'Point B'. One's current Mind's state would be determined by pawn's current position.

Transition between Mind states (moving from 'Point' A to 'Point B') can be triggered by (almost) anything one experiences. From hearing a buddhist lecture, to crossing the street, participating in karate lesson, speaking a Mantra, watching theatre play, drinking water, observing a holy paint (thangka), lighting a candle, etc... Sometimes, however, one's experience doesn't result in such transition, or - more precisely - it triggers transition from 'Point A' to 'Point A', so nothing changes, practically speaking - except for having time to pass during such 'empty transition'.

Not every transition is beneficial, resulting in self-improvement. Some transitions are either 'neutral' or 'detrimential', resulting in downfall instead of development.

One's Mind state determines many aspect of one's being and perceptions. Whether one is in Europe or Asia, whether one feels joy or sadness, whether one experiences world as Hell or Zoo or even the 'Pure Land' - it's all included in one's Mind State.

I feel that death itself, and rebirth, are also Mind State transformations. During the moment of death one's mind state changes and one perceives world 'around' differently, like one would 'teleport' to another world. Same with the moment of rebirth and other bardo state changes.

For more about bardo states, feel free to read: 'Fearless Death' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.


Many won't understand this sadly, but I think that Mind behaves in a similar way as 'Finite State Machine(s)' in the Computer Sciences - except for that Mind is Limitless, is Infinite like an Open Space.

I think and feel that many would use words: 'Complex Machine(s)' instead of 'Finite State Machine(s)' when explaining the Mind's behaviour.

Jambhala.

Name.

Jambhala, also known as Dzambhala, Dzambala, Zambala or Jambala means: 'The Enlightened Deity of Fortune and Wealth'.


Meaning.

“Jam” means “Deity or gathering”. “Bhah” means “gold or wealth”. “La” means “to honor”.

“Dzambhala” means “Precious Golden Deity, who gathers or brings the wealth of spirituality or Dharma and material security or accomplishment to our lives”.

Wealth also includes auspicious conditions, such as health, attracting helpful people and other aspects of overall “good fortune.”


Five Jambhalas.

The Five Jambhalas, deities originating from diverse teaching lineages who collectively form a mandala of bodhichitta prosperity, or enlightened mind wealth. These deities, each with their unique form and mantra, are bound by their common pursuit – to eliminate poverty and create financial security. They emanate from four of the Buddha Families, with the fifth arising from Avaolokiteshvara. All activite different methods of auspicious activity. All specialize in bringing auspiciousness for the benefit of sentient beings, but with a focus on different activities:

Yellow Jambhala, of the Ratna Jewel Family, attracts auspicious circumstances.

White Jambhala, of Buddha Family, and an emanation of Avalokiteshvara, pacifies obstacles to auspiciousness.

Green Jambhala of the Karma Family, activates all activities of wealth and prosperity.

Red Jambhala of the Padma Family, magnetizes good fortune and helpful people.

Black Jambhala, of the Vajra Family, takes the most ferocious approach, bringing power and fierceness to the activities of prosperity.


Mantra.

OM JAMBHALA DZALEN DAYE SOHA.
