| BnwShortPersonBio | Late Indian Yogācāra philosopher and logician of the school of Dharmakīrti at Vikramaśīla monastery, born between 975 and 1000. Within the Yogācāra, he held the so-called “aspectarian” (sākāra) position regarding the nature of cognition, taking a position opposed to that of Ratnākaraśānti. He is credited as the author of twelve treatises, including an important work on apoha, the Apohaprakaraṇa. In his works on logic, he upholds the interpretation of Dharmakīrti by Prajñākaragupta against the interpretation by Dharmottara. (Robert E. Buswell and Donald S. Lopez Jr. The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism [Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2014], 398). |

| PosEmptyLuminNotes | buddha-nature shares features (or coincides) with emptiness and is a property (dharma) of the image (ākāra), which in turn is its possessor (dharmin). In this he was a precursor to Ngok's innovative equation of b-n = emptiness. See Kano. K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 61.
Karl includes him in the second category (Mind's Luminous Nature) |
