|BnwShortPersonBio=A prominent 14th century scholar associated with Kadam and Skya schools that was a student of Butön, as well as his biographer. He was also an early teacher of Tsongkhapa and is reported to have given the bodhisattva vow to Rongtön.
|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.
|PosEmptyLumin=Tathāgatagarbha as the Resultant State of Buddhahood
|PosEmptyLuminNotes=*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.
*[[Wangchuk, Tsering]], [[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]], p. 73.
|IsInGyatsa=No
|PosDefProvNotes=Actually both, since teachings that say all sentient beings have buddha-nature and that this is permenant and so on are provisional, while teachings that say buddha-nature is the dharmakaya of fully enlightened buddhas are definitive.
See [[Wangchuk, Tsering]], [[The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows]], p.73
