Expand to see this person's philosophical positions on Buddha-nature.
Is Buddha-nature considered definitive or provisional? | |
---|---|
Position: | Provisional |
Notes: | "Bu-ston and sGra-tshad-pa make of the RGV a provisional teaching, understanding Buddha-nature as what is literally stated in the RGV." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 343. |
All beings have Buddha-nature | |
Position: | Qualified No |
If "Qualified", explain: | Only Buddhas |
Notes: | *"Taking the reverse position of the Gelugpas on this, both Butön and his student and commentator Dratsépa Rinchen Namgyal (1318–1388) identify the actual tathāgata heart as being solely the final fruition of buddhahood. As the latter says: The fully qualified sugata heart is the dharmakāya of a perfect buddha but never exists in the great mass of sentient beings." Brunnhölzl, K., When the Clouds Part, pp. 67-68.

What is Buddha-nature? | |
Position: | Tathagatagarbha as the Dharmakaya |
Notes: | *Bu-ston and his disciple sGra-tshad-pa assert that Buddha-nature should be understood only in its resultant aspect, namely as only the dharmakäya of a buddha." Kano, K., Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, p. 343. |
Svātantrika (རང་རྒྱུད་) vs Prāsaṅgika (ཐལ་འགྱུར་པ་) | |

Causal nature of the vajrapāda | |
Position: |
"Tathagatagarbha as the Dharmakaya" 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.
