Although the term buddhi is also used in other Indian philosophies and traditions, its most common usage is in the context of Buddhism. The term is also being used to translate several other Buddhist terms and concepts, which are used to denote (initial) insight (prajna (Sanskrit), wu (Chinese), kensho and satori (Japanese));[1][2] knowledge (vidhya); the "blowing out" (Nirvana) of disturbing emotions and desires and the subsequent freedom or release (vimukti); and the attainment of supreme Buddhahood (samyak sam bodhi), as exemplified by Gautama Buddha. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4648.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4648.txt
