- Person description or short bio
Expand to see this person's philosophical positions on Buddha-nature.
Is Buddha-nature considered definitive or provisional? | |
---|---|
Position: | Provisional |
Notes: | *"Just as the Gelugpas, The Ornament That Illuminates and Beautifies the Tathāgata Heart, by Butön Rinchen Drub (1290–1364), holds the teachings on buddha nature to be of expedient meaning." Brunnhölzl, K., When the Clouds Part, p. 67.
|
All beings have Buddha-nature | |
Position: | Qualified No |
If "Qualified", explain: | Only Buddhas |
Notes: | *"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." Brunnhölzl, K., When the Clouds Part, p. 67.

Notes: | |
Yogācāra vs Madhyamaka | |
Position: | Yogācāra |
Notes: | In line with his assertion that these teachings are merely provisional he claims, "The general basis of intention of the teachings on buddha nature is the ālaya-consciousness, which refers to the sheer cause of buddhahood." Brunnhölzl, K., When the Clouds Part, p. 868. |
Zhentong vs Rangtong | |
Position: | Rangtong |
Notes: | Though he didn't explicitly equate his position with Rangtong, he was certainly a vocal opponent of Dölpopa and his Zhentong view. |
Promotes how many vehicles? | |
Position: | |
Notes: | |
Analytic vs Meditative Tradition | |
Position: | Analytic Tradition |
Notes: | Though he differed from Ngok on certain issues, he was more in line with his approach than that of Tsen Khawoche. |
What is Buddha-nature? | |
Position: | Tathāgatagarbha as the Resultant State of Buddhahood |
Notes: | Specifically, he sees buddha-nature as referring only to the dharmakāya of a fully enlightened buddha.
