  • In this episode, Martino talks about the Buddhist keyword “tathāgata," one of the ten epithets of the Buddha. In mainstream Buddhism, the term tathāgata functions as a descriptor of the Buddha. In the Mahāyāna, the concept of tathāgata finds resonance in the doctrine of the tathāgatagarbha, the “essence” of the tathāgata. In the Vajrayāna, in turn, the term tathāgata assumes yet another role in the concept of the pañcatathāgata, or “five tathāgatas.”

    Discussed in this episode: tathāgata. The term tathāgata has generally two meanings: “one who has thus gone” or “one who has thus come.” This term articulates the Buddha’s journey to enlightenment—a path that guides all sentient beings towards liberation. Tathāgata denotes the essence of the Buddha’s enlightenment as both a departure from saṃsāra and an arrival at nirvāṇa.
