In the Pāramitāyāna it means to be endowed with the most sublime of the manifestations of method: generosity and the other [pāramitās]. The Kālachakra Tantra and other texts teach that it means that all the manifestations of knowable objects are clarity." The seventh Karmapa, Chödrak Gyatso, explains that "emptiness endowed with the most sublime of manifestations" is synonymous with "sugatagarbha." "Endowed with the most sublime of manifestations" means that sugatagarbha actually possesses the sixty-four excellent qualities of separation and maturation. "Emptiness" means that those qualities do not exist as something identifiable or as characteristics. Annotations (61.4) says: "Emptiness [is] endowed with the most sublime of manifestations, that is, all knowable objects. Alternatively, "endowed with manifestations" refers to aspects of method, such as generosity." +
