This is because for Chapa being a cause in this context entails being conditioned and conventional and something that exists only on the causal state of enlightenment, whereas the buddha-element is unconditioned and ultimate and something that exists pervasively as the ultimate nature on both the causal and resultant levels of enlightenment."

Expand to see this person's philosophical positions on Buddha-nature.
Is Buddha-nature considered definitive or provisional? | |
---|---|
Position: | Definitive |
Notes: | Tsering Wangchuk p. 14. |
All beings have Buddha-nature | |
Position: | Qualified Yes |
If "Qualified", explain: | "...both Ngok and Chapa argue that sentient beings do not have tathägata-essence on the basis of the first reason because they do not have the purified enlightened body of a buddha, rather they have thepotential to achieve an enlightened state.
However, they agree that sentient beings have the tathägata-essence from the perspective of the second reason, which is that such-ness is indivisible or nondual. As Ngok states, 'That both a tathägata
and ordinary beings have [tathägata] essence is actually the case.' The first reason is true only for enlightened beings, but only designated for ordinary beings; the second reason applies to both enlightened beings and sentient beings. Therefore, the two Kadam masters argue that sentient beings do not have the tathägata-essence from the perspective of either the first reason of the resultant essence or the third reason of the causal essence. Rather it is the second reason that becomes the central point for establishing the link between enlightenment and sentient beings. It is the middle reason that shows that sentient beings and tathâgatas are the same in their ultimate nature. In other words, the only thing that sentient beings have in common with enlightened beings is the ultimate nature of their minds." |

What is Buddha-nature? | |
Position: | Tathagatagarbha as Suchness |
Notes: | "Tathägata-essence must not be connected to either the first reason—the notion that the resultant
buddha-body pervades all beings—or the third reason which is that causal buddha-nature exists in all beings. Therefore, tathägata-essence is neither the resultant buddha-body nor the causal buddha-nature, rather it is the ultimate nature of suchness."

Svātantrika (རང་རྒྱུད་) vs Prāsaṅgika (ཐལ་འགྱུར་པ་) | |
Position: | Svātantrika (རང་རྒྱུད་) |
Notes: | Tsering Wangchuk p. 14, quotes van der Kuijp |
Causal nature of the vajrapāda | |
Position: |
"Tathagatagarbha as Suchness" 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.
