Buddha, Enlightened One [thd]
buddhahood. The perfect and complete enlightenment dwelling in neither samsara nor nirvana; the state of having eradicated all obscurations, endowed with the wisdom of seeing the nature of things as it is and with the wisdom of perceiving all which exists. [RY]
Buddha (sangs rgyas): One who has eliminated the two veils - the veils of emotional obscurations and the cognitive obscuration, which is the dualistic conceptual thinking, which prevents omniscience - and who has developed the two wisdoms, the wisdom which knows the ultimate nature of mind and phenomena, and the wisdom which knows the multiplicity of these phenomena. [MR]
Enlightenment (sangs rgyas): synonymous of Buddhahood. The ultimate accomplishment of spiritual training. Consummate inner wisdom united with infinite compassion. A perfect understanding of the nature of mind and of phenomena, that is their relative mode of existence (the way these appear) and their ultimate nature (the way these are). Such understanding is the fundamental antidote to ignorance and herein also, to suffering. [MR]
The Buddha, as in Śākyamuni Buddha or Siddhārtha Gautama, or any other Buddha ('Awakened/Enlightened One'). Mahāvyutpatti: बुद्धः ॥ buddhaḥ ॥ sangs rgyas ॥ སངས་རྒྱས་ [Erick Tsiknopoulos]
