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." Karl Brunnhölzl, 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.

Ratnagotravibhāga Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra

Refers to something that is taught for a specific reason, rather than because it is entirely true.

Literally, the "essence" or "heart of the Bliss Gone One(s)," a synonym for tathāgatagarbha that is likewise often rendered into English by the term buddha-nature. Though it is often back translated into Sanskrit as sugatagarbha, this term is not found in Sanskrit sources.

The disciples of the Buddha who aspire to attain individual liberation or nirvāṇa. The final goal of the Hearers is to become an arhat, a state in which one has totally eliminated the inner problems of attachment, hatred and ignorance, the main causes for rebirth in this cycle of existence. There are four stages of a śrāvaka path including eight phases.

The state of being devoid of that which is wholly different rather than being void of its own nature. The term is generally used to refer to the ultimate, or buddha-nature, being empty of other phenomena such as adventitious defiling emotions but not empty of its true nature.

"Relative truth" or "conventional truth"; the erroneously perceived reality common to the unenlightened.

The state of being empty of self, which references the lack of inherent existence in relative phenomena.

"Ultimate truth" or "absolute truth"; the reality of things as they truly are.
