PosBuNayDefProv	Definitive
PosBuNayDefProvNotes	"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.
PosAllBuddha	Qualified Yes
PosAllBuddhaNote	"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."
PosAllBuddhaMoreNotes	Wangchuk, Tsering, The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows, p. 99.
PosWheelTurn	Second Turning
PosWheelTurnNotes	"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. However, this is a tricky issue and elsewhere Wangchuk states, "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.
PosYogaMadhya	Madhyamaka
PosYogaMadhyaNotes	"In his Uttaratantra commentary, Gyeltsap 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.

PosEmptyLumin	Tathagatagarbha as the Emptiness That is a Nonimplicative Negation
PosEmptyLuminNotes	"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.
PosSvataPrasa	Prāsaṅgika (ཐལ་འགྱུར་)
PosSvataPrasaNotes	"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.

"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.
