PosBuNayDefProvNotes
  1. "Thus the last two dharmacakras are not different

in terms of ontology. Still, the third dharmacakra differs in the fine distinctions it offers, and for this reason alone it has—contrary to the first two—definitive meaning (nītãrtha), and so outshines the second dharmacakra by an uncountable factor." Klaus-Dieter Mathes, A Direct Path to the Buddha Within, p. 369.

  1. "There is not the slightest attempt to elevate the second dharmacakra to the same level as the third; Zhönu Pal goes so far as to quote in full length the Samdhinirmocanasūtras description of how the third dharmacakra is superior, and concludes that, since the benefit derived from merely hearing its definitive meaning is that great, the profound and vast meaning of the last dharmacakra stands out accordingly." Klaus-Dieter Mathes, A Direct Path to the Buddha Within, p. 371.

PosAnalyticMeditNotes "That Zhönu Pal comments on the Ratnagotravibhāga from within the tradition of meditation is also clear from his colophon:

The Dharma master Drigungpa [Jigten Sumgön] rejoiced in Jé Gampopas statement that the basic text of these mahāmudrā instructions of ours is the [Ratnagotravibhãga] Mahãyãnottaratantraśāstra composed by the illustrious Maitreya; and since it is evident that the notes to [his] Uttaratantra explanations, the points he makes when presenting the three dharmacakras, and also the explanations deriving from Sajjana’s heart disciple Tsen Kawoché, are [all] in accordance with mahāmudrā proper, I have relied on them and have made [this] clear to others as best as I could. (DRSM, 574.9-12)" Klaus-Dieter Mathes, A Direct Path to the Buddha Within, p. 368.
