PosBuNayDefProv Provisional
PosBuNayDefProvNotes "Bu-ston and sGra-tshad-pa make of the RGV a provisional teaching, understanding Buddha-nature as what is literally stated in the RGV." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 343.
PosAllBuddha Qualified No
PosAllBuddhaNote Only Buddhas
PosAllBuddhaMoreNotes
  • "Taking the reverse position of the Gelugpas on this, both Butön and his student and commentator Dratsépa Rinchen Namgyal (1318–1388) identify the actual tathāgata heart as being solely the final fruition of buddhahood. As the latter says: The fully qualified sugata heart is the dharmakāya of a perfect buddha but never exists in the great mass of sentient beings." Brunnhölzl, K., When the Clouds Part, pp. 67-68.
  • Bu-ston and his disciple sGra-tshad-pa assert that Buddha-nature should be understood only in its resultant aspect, namely as only the dharmakäya of a buddha." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 343.
  • See also Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 73.
PosWheelTurn Third Turning
PosWheelTurnNotes Both second and third, though third is higher. Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 74.
PosZhenRangNotes Deems zhentong as conventional truth and the lowest form of emptiness and rangtong as the ultimate truth. Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 79.
