PosAllBuddhaMoreNotes
  • "He claims that tathägata-essence exists in all sentient beings in a fully enlightened form. He states that: the dharma-body is dharma-reality indivisible from [buddha] qualities. Since there is no objection to the fact that the dharma-body exists pervasively in all sentient beings, in the manner of one entity; it is unacceptable to present it, [i.e., the existence of the dharma-body in sentient beings] as [merely] imputed." Wangchuk, Tsering The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows p. 32
  • "Blo-gros mtshungs-med asserts that... sentient beings truly possess the dharmakäya, which is the dharmadhätu inseparable from the qualities." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 329.

PosVehiclesNotes "Blo-gros-mtshungs-med for his part is more intent on harmonizing the expression in the RGV with other scriptures, and probably was fully conscious of the fact that lack of reverence for sravakas contradicted his ekayäna stance." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 327.
PosEmptyLumin Tathagatagarbha as the Dharmakaya
PosEmptyLuminNotes
  • "One of the central doctrinal points of Blo-gros-mtshungs-med’s position is the two modes of Buddha-nature: the gnosis aspect and sphere aspect. Under the former, Buddha-nature is existent in terms of its qualities, while under the latter it is empty in terms of its mode of existence. Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 336.
