The Uttaratantra and its Meditative Tradition as a Bridge Between Sutra and Tantra.

"Buddha nature" (tathāgatagarbha)  is the innate potential in
all living beings to become a fully awakened  buddha. The book gives an
overview of the sūtra sources of the  tathāgatagarbha teachings and the
different ways of explaining the  meaning of this term. In particular,
it includes new translations of the  Mahāyānottaratantra (Ratnagotravibhāga),
the primary  Indian text on the subject, its Indian commentaries, and
two (hitherto  untranslated) commentaries from the Tibetan Kagyü
tradition. Most  important, the book investigates in detail the
meditative tradition of  using the Mahāyānottaratantra as a basis for Mahāmudrā instructions and the Shentong approach.
