The term \"Omniscience\" as it applies to the Buddha has a distinct meaning, differing from Western religious interpretations, encompassing intelligible, non-sensuous intuition — the direct understanding of the world from an eternal perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1488\"\u003eThe subsequent four chapters explore the four \u003cem data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1229\"\u003eprayogas\u003c\/em\u003e (or ways of realization) of this Omniscience.
