Notes: | "In his auto-commentary on the Bodhipathapradipa, Atisa explains the term so sor tharpa’i sdom pa and associates the Buddha-nature doctrine with that of the Great Madhyamaka (dbu ma chen po), which teaches that there is nobody who is not a recipient of the Mahäyäna (i.e. ekayäna)." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 101. |
