• Mkhas grub rje  + ("However, Khedrup, a student and a junior … "However, Khedrup, a student and a junior contemporary of Rendawa, mentions in his ''Presentation of the General Tantric Systems'' (''rgyud sde spyi rnam''), "Lama Jé [that is, Rendawa] asserts that [the ''Uttaratantra''] is a commentarial work on last-wheel teachings, explicating the view of the Cittamātra School." [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], ''[[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 88.The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 88.)
• Red mda' ba gzhon nu blo gros  + ( *"As for whether the ''Uttaratantra'' is … </br>*"As for whether the ''Uttaratantra'' is definitive or provisional, Rendawa does not explicitly identify it either as definitive or provisional in the texts that I have consulted. However, Khedrup, a student and a junior contemporary of Rendawa, mentions in his ''Presentation of the General Tantric Systems'' (''rgyud sde spyi rnam''), "Lama Jé [that is, Rendawa] asserts that the ''Uttaratantra'' is a commentarial work on last-wheel teachings, explicating the view of the Cittamātra School." [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], ''[[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 88.</br>*Though Rendawa's personal view is explained by Wangchuk as, "Rendawa argues that only Nāgārjuna's Madhyamaka system presents the correct ultimate view, not Asanga's Cittamātra School." [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], ''[[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 87.</br>*However there is a possibility that he had a change of heart later in life, as Wangchuk sites the ''Blue Annals'' as stating, "The Venerable Red-mda'-pa believed at first the ''Uttaratantra'' to be a Vijñānamātra work, and even composed a commentary from the standpoint of the followers of the Vijñānamātra school. Later, when he became a hermit, he used to sing: "It is impossible to differentiate between the presence and absence of this our Mind. The Buddha having perceived that it penetrated all living beings, as in the example of a subterranean treasure, or the womb of a pregnant woman, had proclaimed all living beings to be possessed of the Essence of the Sugata."

• Karmapa, 3rd  + ( *"To sum up, in his explanation of buddha … </br>*"To sum up, in his explanation of buddha nature, Rangjung Dorjé combines three different strands of interpretations:</br>1. The mahāmudrā interpretation stemming from Saraha.</br>2.The interpretation according to Asaṅga's ''Mahāyānasaṁgraha''.</br>3.The dzogchen interpretation.</br>In other words, for Rangjung Dorjé, well-founded mahāmudrā and dzogchen explanations need be combined with Asaṅgas Yogācāra distinction."

• Dol po pa  + (Dolpopa has a unique view on this issue as … Dolpopa has a unique view on this issue as Wangchuk points out:</br>*"Dölpopa argues the following: (1) Cittamātra is categorized into Conventional Cittamātra (''kun rdzob pa'i sems tsam'') and Ultimate Cittamātra (''don dam pa'i sems tsam''); (2) Cittamātra must not be conflated with Vijnānavāda; (3) Madhyamaka is grouped into Madyamaka without Appearance (''snang med dbu ma'') and Madhyamaka with Appearance (''snang bcas dbu ma''). His Mahäyäna doxography differs significantly from that of other fourteenth-century Tibetan scholars." [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], ''[[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]]'', p. 47.</br></br>*It seems that the simple answer is that Dolpopa espoused Great Madhyamaka (''dbu ma chen mo'') or Madhyamaka with Appearance (''snang bcas dbu ma''), which is equivalent to Ultimate Cittamātra (''don dam pa'i sems tsam'').

He argues:</br>'The sutras for the ''Uttaratantra'' and the ''Uttaratantra'' [itself] do not contradict the ''Prajñāpāramitāsūtras'' because the emptiness of inherent existence of all phenomena taught there [in the ''Prajñāpāramitāsūtras''] is the dharma-body explicated here [in the last wheel sutras and the ''Uttaratantra''].'"
