PosBuNayDefProv Provisional
PosBuNayDefProvNotes
  • "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." Karl Brunnhölzl, When the Clouds Part, p. 67.
  • "Bu-ston explicitly takes the Buddha-nature doctrine to be provisional (neyārtha). Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 364
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." Karl Brunnhölzl, When the Clouds Part, p. 67.
  • "Bu-ston and his disciple sGra-tshad-pa assert that Buddha-nature should be understood only in its resultant aspect, namely as only the dharmakāya of a buddha." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 343.
PosYogaMadhya Yogācāra
PosYogaMadhyaNotes 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." Karl Brunnhölzl, When the Clouds Part, p. 868.
PosZhenRang Rangtong
PosZhenRangNotes Though he didn't explicitly equate his position with Rangtong, he was certainly a vocal opponent of Dölpopa and his Zhentong view.
PosAnalyticMedit Analytic Tradition
PosAnalyticMeditNotes Though he differed from Ngok on certain issues, he was more in line with his approach than that of Tsen Khawoche.
PosEmptyLumin Tathāgatagarbha as the Resultant State of Buddhahood
PosEmptyLuminNotes Specifically, he sees buddha-nature as referring only to the dharmakāya of a fully enlightened buddha.
