Synopsis:
An analysis of the Shentong tradition and how it reconciles its view of emptiness with that of a truly existing, changeless Buddha nature. The tathagatagarbha doctrine, or Buddha Nature, is a central concept of Mahayana Buddhism. Its relationship with the concept of emptiness has been a subject of debate for hundreds of years. Hookham presents the controversial Tibetan Shentong view of emptiness (emptiness of other), largely associated with the Kagyu and Nyingma schools, arguing against the Rangtong view (self emptiness), which is especially dominant in the Gelugpa school. For reference she uses the only surviving Indian commentary on the Tathagatagarbha doctrine, the Ratnagotravibhaga. This text addresses itself directly to the issue of how to relate the doctrine of emptiness to Buddha nature. |
