Translated here, it is named 'awakened.' Awakening has two meanings: first, awareness is named awakening, like a person becoming aware of a thief; second, awakening from sleep is named awakening, like a person waking from sleep. Regarding awareness, this is in contrast to the affliction-obstacle: the harm and encroachment of afflictions are identical in nature to a thief; only the noble ones are aware of them and are not harmed by them, hence it is called awakening. Regarding awakening from sleep, this is in contrast to the cognitive obstacle: the stupor and slumber of ignorance are identical in nature to sleep; as soon as noble wisdom arises, one brightly has a great awakening, like one who was sleeping gaining wakefulness, hence it is called awakening. Ignorance has two aspects: first, the ignorance of natural fetters, which deludes and veils true nature; to counter and eliminate that, one awakens fully to one's own real tathāgatagarbha nature, hence it is called awakening; second, unknowing regarding phenomena, which fails to comprehend conventional truth; to counter and eliminate that, one awakens to and knows all dharmas of the three aggregates—wholesome, unwholesome, and indeterminate—hence it is called awakening. Thus the Bodhisattvabhūmi says: 'Because one equally and fully awakens to the aggregate of beneficial meaning, the aggregate of non-beneficial meaning, and the aggregate of neither beneficial nor non-beneficial meaning, one is called a Buddha.' The aggregate of meaning is the wholesome, non-meaning is the unwholesome, and neither meaning nor non-meaning is the indeterminate; knowing all of these, one is therefore called awakened. Being able both to awaken oneself and to awaken others, with one's awakened practice fully perfected, one is named a Buddha. Awakening oneself sets one apart from ordinary persons; awakening others sets one apart from śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas; and having one's awakened practice fully perfected distinguishes one from bodhisattvas; therefore, this \[state\] alone is specifically named Buddha. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.1.28) - [Next: 1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.1.30) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.1.29) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [維摩義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.1.23) — Classical Chinese - [勝鬘寶窟](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1744.1.25) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.1.29) · Pramāṇa
