noun
liberation; reaching enlightenment
Buddhist term for spiritual liberation or breaking free from worldly attachments to attain enlightenment.
禅の修行によって透脱の境地に達することを目指す。
Through Zen practice, one aims to reach the state of liberation.
解脱 is a more common Buddhist term for liberation or emancipation, while 透脱 is a rarer, more specific term often used in Zen contexts.
The term is composed of 透 (to penetrate, to pass through) and 脱 (to escape, to shed), suggesting a breaking through of delusions. The exact historical derivation within Buddhist texts is uncertain.
