What are the 3 Supramundane Mental Abilities?
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, there are these three
supramundane abilities. What three?
1: The ability to come to
know, what one did not yet know...
2: The ability to gradually achieve
the highest and final wisdom...
3: The ability of one, who
dwells in the highest and final wisdom...
These are the three supreme supramundane abilities.
