Description
A thoughtful exploration of a renowned Buddhist masters teachings on the key concept of Buddha-nature. The major Indian treatise on Buddha nature is the Ratnagotravibhaga, also known as the Uttaratantra, and it is this core text that Klaus-Dieter Mathes focuses on in this book. Mathes demonstrates how its author, G Lotsawa, ties the teachings on Buddha nature in with mainstream Mahayana thought while avoiding the pitfalls of the zhentong approach favored by the Jonang tradition. He also evaluates G Lotsawas position on Buddha nature against the background of interpretations by masters of the Kagyu Mahamudra, Nyingma Dzogchen, and Jonang schools.
