gzhon nu bum pa'i sku;youthful vase kāya;youthful vase kāya;kumārakalaśakāya;This term is unique to the Great Perfection tradition, referring to the state of enlightenment.

It is called "youthful," for it is not subject to aging or degeneration, and it is called a "kāya," for it is the aggregate of all the inexhaustible enlightened body, speech, mind, qualities, and activities of all the buddhas. Its six characteristics are that it is (i) superior to the ground, (i) appearing as one's own essential nature, (3) discerning, (4) liberated in activity, (5) not emerging from anything else, and (6) dwelling in one's own ground.

Z43z), this refers to the awareness of Samantabhadra, which is of the oceanic nature of the kāyas and facets of primordial consciousness, with six qualities: (1) externally luminous consciousness is withdrawn into itself, and the great, internally luminous, original absolute space of awareness of the ground appears to itself;(i) it transcends the ground;(3) it differentiates;(4) it is liberated upward;(5) it arises from nothing else;and (6) it dwells in its own place.  +
