(Tibetan སངས་རྒྱས་ sang gye) Complete final awakening.

  • སངས (sang) is connected with the idea of clearing away / dissipating; in this context it is the clearing away of all obscurations
    • So buddhahood is completely pure and awakened
  • རྒྱས (gye) means flourishing; in this context it means all the awakened qualities of a Buddha manifesting
    • So buddhahood isn’t some kind of nihilistic blankness where everything has disappeared
