'''Sugata''' [Skt.] (Tib. [[བདེ་བར་གཤེགས་པ་]], ''dewar shekpa''; [[Wyl.]] ''bde bar gshegs pa''). An epithet of the [[Buddha]], literally meaning 'gone to bliss'. [[Khenpo Appey]] explains the term as follows: 

:"According to [[Dharmakirti]], there are three ways of understanding ''su'' or 'bliss': excellent, irreversible and complete. ''Gata'' or 'gone' has two meanings: abandonment and realization, meaning the abandonment of all flaws, and the realization of all that is to be known. 

:So, in terms of realization, we can explain ''sugata'' as meaning excellent realization, irreversible realization and complete realization. In terms of abandonment, it means excellent abandonment, irreversible abandonment and complete abandonment.

:Excellent abandonment means that all the [[disturbing emotions]] have been abandoned. Disturbing emotions are desire, avarice, anger and so on. Complete abandonment means that the [[cognitive obscurations]] have also been abandoned. Cognitive obscurations are ordinary conceptual thought processes. Irreversible abandonment means that once these have been abandoned they will never return; they have been given up once and for all.

:Excellent realization means realization of the nature of reality. Complete realization means realization of all that can be known. Irreversible realization means realization that can never decline or diminish."
