PosEmptyLumin	Tathagatagarbha as Mind's Luminous Nature
PosEmptyLuminNotes	Kano. K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 242, footnote 4. Van der Kuijp via Shakya mchog ldan. Klaus-Dieter Mathes, A Direct Path to the Buddha Within, p. 33. "According to BA,[66] those who follow the tradition of Dsen Kawoché (Tib. Btsan Kha bo che) hold that since the tathāgata heart is the naturally luminous nature of the mind, it is the powerful vital cause of buddhahood. TOK agrees, saying that, according to the Eighth Situpa, the texts in Dsen Kawoché’s lineage accepted a really established, self-aware, self-luminous cognition empty of the duality of apprehender and apprehended to be the powerful vital cause of buddhahood." Karl Brunnhölzl, When the Clouds Part, p. 65.
