| − | + | “Śākya Chogden speaks of a conditioned and an unconditioned as well as a seeming and an ultimate tathāgatagarbha. He holds that even the ultimate tathāgata heart is impermanent because it is a functional entity, which is ceasing moment by moment. On the other hand, he says, this does not contradict its being explained as permanent in other contexts, when having in mind the permanence in terms of continuity.” - Karl Brunholztl | |
