What is the Buddha's wisdom?

Everyone has the inherent capacity for wisdom that is the same as the Buddha's, but when we have affliction, wisdom disappears. The Buddha's wisdom transcends objectivity and subjectivity. By regarding every sentient being as equal, the Buddha's wisdom, the wisdom of no-self, completely lets go of self and other—no you, no me, no him, no her—and sees all things in a detached, un-involved way.
