|tolExcerpt=Bötrul Dongak Tenpai Nyima was a Nyingma teacher based primarily at Dzogchen and Gegong Monasteries in Kham. A holder of the scholastic tradition begun by Mipam Gyatso, he also taught for several years at Drigung. He was considered by some to be a reincarnation of Patrul Rinpoche.
|PosBuNayDefProv=Definitive
|PosWheelTurn=Third Turning
|PosYogaMadhya=Madhyamaka
|PosEmptyLumin=Tathāgatagarbha as the Unity of Emptiness and Luminosity
|PosEmptyLuminNotes="Thus, from the point of view of emptiness, buddha nature is the empty dharmadhātu (the object) and from the point of view of appearance, it is the wisdom (the subject) that is not empty of the inseparable qualities of a buddha. Both these aspects are inseparable and are empty of the adventitious stains that represent the delusive appearances of saṃsāra." [[Brunnhölzl, K.]], ''[[When the Clouds Part]]'', p. 75.
|IsInGyatsa=No
|PosSvataPrasa=Prāsaṅgika (ཐལ་འགྱུར་)
|PosSvataPrasaNotes="...Pötrül says repeatedly that both the ''Madhyamakāvatāra'' and the ''Uttaratantra'' are scriptures of “the Great Prāsaṅgika Mahāyāna,” though he clearly rejects the Gelugpa understanding of this being the case because, he says, the Gelugpa position is solely based on a nonimplicative negation (the lack of real existence), while completely rejecting the notion of luminosity." [[Brunnhölzl, K.]], ''[[When the Clouds Part]]'', p. 75.
