Expand to see this person's philosophical positions on Buddha-nature.
Is Buddha-nature considered definitive or provisional? | |
---|---|
Position: | Definitive |
Notes: | "So, Gyeltsap claims that both the Madhyamakävatära and the Uttaratantra explain the same meaning of ultimate truth. Hence, they are both definitive works that explicate the intention of the middle wheel." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 107. |
All beings have Buddha-nature | |
Position: | Qualified Yes |
If "Qualified", explain: | "Gyeltsap thus shows that ultimately both buddhas and sentient beings share the same suchness of mind which is the ultimate nature of mind that is free from natural defilements. Because of this he argues that all sentient beings have tathägata-essence, and it is through this
that he establishes the connection between tathägata-essence and the concept of one-vehicle, the notion that ultimately there is only the final goal of buddhahood." |
Notes: | Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 99. |
Which Wheel Turning | |
Position: | Second Turning |
Notes: | "So, Gyeltsap claims that both the Madhyamakävatära and the Uttaratantra explain the same meaning of ultimate truth. Hence, they are both definitive works that explicate the intention of the middle wheel." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 107.
"For Gyeltsap, there is no contradiction in saying that the Uttaratantra comments on both last-wheel sutras and the middle-wheel sutras." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 102. |
Yogācāra vs Madhyamaka | |
Position: | Madhyamaka |
Notes: | "In his Uttaratantra commentary, Gveltsap shows the strong influence of Tsongkhapa's Illuminating the Thoughts of the Madhyamaka. He criticizes those who propose that the Uttaratantra is a Cittamätra text, arguing that it explicates the ultimate truth presented in the
Präsangika-Madhyamaka." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 98. |
Zhentong vs Rangtong | |
Position: | Rangtong |
Notes: | |
Promotes how many vehicles? | |
Position: | 1 |
Notes: | |
Analytic vs Meditative Tradition | |
Position: | |
Notes: | |
What is Buddha-nature? | |
Position: | Tathagatagarbha as the Emptiness That is a Nonimplicative Negation |
Notes: | "In brief, Gyeltsap argues that buddha-nature, or tathägataessence, does not refer to a fully enlightened entity covered by adventitious defilements. Rather it is the same as the emptiness of inherent existence that is explicated in texts such as the Prajnäpäramitäsütras and Madhyamakävatära." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 106. |
Svātantrika (རང་རྒྱུད་) vs Prāsaṅgika (ཐལ་འགྱུར་པ་) | |
Position: | Prāsaṅgika (ཐལ་འགྱུར་) |
Notes: | "In his Uttaratantra commentary, Gveltsap shows the strong influence of Tsongkhapa's Illuminating the Thoughts of the Madhyamaka. He criticizes those who propose that the Uttaratantra is a Cittamätra text, arguing that it explicates the ultimate truth presented in the
Präsangika-Madhyamaka." Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 98. |
Causal nature of the vajrapāda | |
Position: |
"Tathagatagarbha as the Emptiness That is a Nonimplicative Negation" is not in the list (Tathāgatagarbha as Mind's Luminous Nature, Tathāgatagarbha as the Unity of Emptiness and Luminosity, Tathāgatagarbha as a Causal Potential or Disposition (gotra), Tathāgatagarbha as the Resultant State of Buddhahood, There are several types of Tathāgatagarbha, Tathāgatagarbha as the Emptiness That is a Non-implicative Negation (without enlightened qualities), Tathāgatagarbha as the Emptiness That is an Implicative Negation (with enlightened qualities), Tathāgatagarbha as the Latent State of Buddhahood that is Obscured in Sentient Beings, Tathāgatagarbha was Taught Merely to Encourage Sentient Beings to Enter the Path) of allowed values for the "PosEmptyLumin" property.
