Buddha, Enlightened, Sangye; 佛陀, 正覺 (桑皆/桑傑); Tibetan: སངས་རྒྱས (sangye); Wylie: sangs rgyas; Sanskrit: Buddha, Buddho (布達);
The Buddha usually refers to Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.
In general, a Buddha is someone who has awakened and enlightened from ignorance, eliminated from his/her mind stream all emotional and cognitive obscurations, stopped all sufferings and cycles of life and death, gained everlasting happiness and peace, through merits and wisdom.
Gosok explains the meaning of Tibetan word Sangey:
- « Sang » means awakening from the sleep of ignorance.
- « Gye » refers to possessing all-encompassing wisdom and perfect virtues.
- Thus, « Sangye » signifies the Buddha’s fulfillment of both abandonment (of afflictions) and realization (of wisdom).
Sangye, Sanggye is a common Tibetan name.
果碩仁波切解釋「桑傑」的意義: 「桑」是從無明睡眠中覺醒；「傑」是指如所有智、盡所有智，一切功德支分圓滿，所以叫「桑傑」。或者說，「桑」是從無明、二障習氣的迷霧中覺醒；已證現證空性的妙智，如現日光，所以叫「傑」。也就是佛的斷、證二種功德圓滿的意思。
桑傑 / 桑皆是常見藏名。
