Is Buddha-nature considered definitive or provisional? | |
---|---|
Position: | Definitive |
Notes: | "In the opening part of his commentary, bCom-ldan-ral-gri defines the RGV as a treatise that imparts the definitive teaching of the Mahāyāna... bCom-ldan-ral-gri further characterizes the doctrine of Buddha-nature as definitive." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, pp. 314-315. |
All beings have Buddha-nature | |
Position: | Yes |
If "Qualified", explain: | |
Notes: | "Rikrel, in contrast to Sapen and other scholars at Sakya monastery, argues that all sentient beings have an inherent buddha endowed with enlightened qualities within." Wangchuk, Tsering. The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 29. |
Which Wheel Turning | |
Position: | Third Turning |
Notes: | According to Wangchuk, Tsering, "Rikrel not only situates the Uttaratantra within sutric Mahāyāna literature, but he also includes it in the last wheel as a work expounding on both sutras and tantric literature." The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 29.

What is Buddha-nature? | |
Position: | Tathāgatagarbha as Mind's Luminous Nature |
Notes: | "In his commentary on RGV I.3, bCom-ldan-ral-gri defines Buddha-nature as “the natural luminous mind that is inseparable from dharmatā,” and, glossing RGV 1.153, states: “the ultimate truth, which is unconditioned and primordially existent by itself, is the element (i.e. Buddha-nature).” Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 342.
