Interview
Buddha-Nature in the Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra by Peter Alan Roberts
An early foundational text for buddha-nature theory, the Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra is an influential teaching in many Buddhist traditions in China and Tibet. There is some controversy surrounding its teaching, and this discussion will illuminate some of the more interesting aspects of the sūtra. Set around the time of Buddha's passing, or Mahāparinirvāṇa, the sūtra contains teachings on buddha-nature, equating it with the dharmakāya—that is, the complete enlightenment of a buddha. It also asserts that all sentient beings possess this nature as the buddhadhātu, or buddha-element, which thus acts as a cause, seed, or potential for all beings to attain enlightenment. Furthermore, the sūtra includes some salient features related to this concept, such as the single vehicle and the notion that the dharmakāya is endowed with the four pāramitās of permanence, bliss, purity, and a self. Peter Alan Roberts was born in Wales and lives in Hollywood, California. He earned a BA in Sanskrit and Pali and a DPhil in Tibetan Studies from Oxford University (Harris-Manchester College). For more than thirty years he has been working as an interpreter for lamas and as a translator of Tibetan texts. He specializes in the literature of the Kagyü and Nyingma traditions with a focus on tantric practices, and he is the author of The Biographies of Rechungpa and Mahāmudrā and Related Instructions, along with many other translations, especially for the 84000 Project. See The Stem Array, a translation of the Gaṇḍavyuha from the Tibetan, Sūtra of the Sublime Golden Light—a translation of the Suvarṇaprabhāsottamasūtra, and others online at 84000.co.

Buddha-Nature: A Talk by Khenpo Tshewang Sonam in Thimphu, Bhutan
Khenpo Tshewang Sonam, the lama of Tharpaling monastery, explains in this video what is buddha-nature or tathāgathagarbha by mentioning the sources of buddha-nature teachings and identifying it with the nature of the mind which is free from conceptual fabrications. He mentions that the practice of recognizing the nature of the mind is a direct way of accessing the buddha-nature latent in all sentient beings. When the pristine nonconceptual nature of the mind is fully realized, such nature is termed as dharmakāya from which emanates all the embodied forms of buddhahood, just like the reflections of the moon appearing in different water bodies. བཀའ་ཆོས་འདིར་ཐར་པ་གླིང་གི་བླ་མ་མཁན་པོ་ཚེ་དབང་བསོད་ནམས་ནས་དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པའི་སྙིང་པོའི་ཆོས་ཀྱི་ཁུངས་བཀའ་བསྟན་བཅོས་ངོས་འཛིན་དང་། དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པའི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་པ་སེམས་ཀྱི་གནས་ལུགས་འོད་གསལ་མི་རྟོག་པའི་རང་བཞིན་ཡིན་པར་་ངོས་འཛིན་དང་། དེ་ཉིད་སེམས་ངོ་སྤྲོད་པའི་གདམས་པ་དང་ཉམས་ལེན་གྱི་སྒོ་ནས་མངོན་བུ་བྱེད་ཚུལ་དང་། སེམས་ཅན་གྱི་སྐབས་རྣམ་རྟོག་གི་བསྒྲིབས་པའི་བདེ་གཤེགས་སྙིང་པོ་ཉིད། རྣམ་རྟོག་ཞི་ནས་སངས་རྒྱས་པའི་སྐབས་ཆོས་སྐུ་ཡིན་པ་དང་། དེ་ལས་འགྲོ་བའི་བློ་ངོར་གཟུགས་སྐུའི་བཀོད་པ་ཤར་ཚུལ་གནམ་གྱི་ཟླ་བ་ཆུ་ལ་གཟུགས་བརྙན་ཤར་བའི་དཔེའི་སྒོ་ནས་བསྟན་ཡོད་པ་ཡིན།

The auspicious venue (གནས་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པ་) is the glorious temple of Shechen monastery, next to the Bouddha Stūpa, where the three great figures of Padmasambhava, Trisong Detsen, and Śāntarakṣita are said to have made the first prayers to spread the Buddha's teachings in Tibet, and in a country where the Buddha was born. The auspicious time (དུས་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པ་) is the holy fourth month in the Himalayan Buddhist calendar, the auspicious teachers (སྟོན་པ་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པ་) are the brilliant khenpos, lopens, and geshes chosen by the Tibetan Buddhist leaders to represent their respective traditions, and the auspicious retinue (འཁོར་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པ་) includes the great scholars and monks from Shechen and representatives from some 32 monastic centers in Kathmandu and the virtual audience from all over the world. The auspicious dharma (ཆོས་ཕུན་སུམ་ཚོགས་པ་) is buddha-nature, the essence of the ground, path, and fruition of the Mahāyāna spiritual system.

He then briefly explains the project of Tsadra Foundation to spread the Tibetan Buddhist message of wisdom and compassion across the globe and the five main programs carried out to this effect. The five programs include grants for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism, funding translations and scholarly work, support for Tibetan Buddhist publications, organizing conferences, trainings, and workshops, and building IT infrastructure and tools to promote Buddhist teachings. The buddha-nature website, which was launched in 2020, falls within the fifth program.

Having built the web resources, he explains that Tsadra hosted three scholarly events on buddha-nature: an academic conference in Vienna in 2019, an online conversation series with distinguished scholars and practitioners in 2020 (an ongoing series), and a panel on buddha-nature in Prague in 2022. These meetings and conversations were conducted in English. Seeing the great need to introduce the web resource to the Tibetan Buddhist centers in the Himalayas and to engage traditional scholars, the conference in Kathmandu was planned.

Furthermore, he explains why Tsadra built the buddha-nature web resource by citing the verse from the Ultimate Continuum in which Maitreya presents the five flaws which the buddha-nature teachings help overcome. First is the sense of diffidence and timidity to do good or seek enlightenment. He points out that people today, more than ever before, are stressed, confused, and mentally vulnerable. Many suffer from depression, struggle even to live their life, and engage in self-harm. The second is the problem of contempt toward other beings. Despite globalization and enhanced interaction through technological advancement, people still remain insular and biased, leading to serious contempt and mistreatment of others, who are perceived as inferior or less privileged. The third flaw is of holding onto the misconception. The world is rife with misinformation, fake news, and commercial and political deception, and most people are engrossed in what is vain and popular. They do not see the real or the truth, which is the fourth problem. People do not understand the theory of cause and effect and the importance of inner wellbeing, let alone the ultimate nature of reality. The fifth problem Maitreya points out is self-love or attachment to one's own creed, race, color, or group. Lopon Karma Phuntsho says that efforts to promote the teachings on buddha-nature is an attempt to overcome these problems by highlighting the point that all beings are by nature good and, in fact, are pure and compassionate like the Buddha.

He then goes on to describe how the presenters have been chosen by the leaders of the respective Tibetan Buddhist teachings, the mode of the presentations and discussions, and the schedule. He ends with a prayer that the teachings of buddha-nature reach far and wide and help people reveal their innate good nature.

Longchenpa's Jewel Treasure of the Dharmadhatu by Lama Chonam and Sangye Khandro
Lama Chonam and Sangye Khandro speak with Karma Phuntsho about their new publication, a translation of an extremely important Dzogchen text by the great Longchen Rabjam called the Choying Dzöd, or Jewel Treasure of the Dharmadhatu. This special translation was refined by the translators after years of oral teachings given by Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche on this important text. Longchen Rabjam composed the Seven Treasures as his crowning achievement, and the Jewel Treasure of the Dharmadhatu is the pinnacle of them all. This astonishing masterpiece sets forth the structure and practice of the Great Perfection path known as trekcho, cutting through to original purity. This publication also includes the Omniscient Longchenpa's autocommentary called A Treasury of Citations, which is an indispensable guide to the root verses that are woven throughout this shastra, to illuminate how they refer to the context of the ground, path, and fruition, as well as the view, meditation and conduct of this exceptional Great Perfection path. True to the title, this commentary disseminates the most crucial information by citing the original speech of Buddha Vajradhara found in the seventeen Great Perfection upadesha tantras, as well as including many quotations from the sutras, tantras, and shastras in general.

Lopon Karma Phuntso's Introduction of Kyoton's Life and Works
Khenpo Gyurme Tshultrim and Lopon Karma Phuntsho launch the new book The Life and Works of Kyotön Monlam Tsultrim (སྐྱོ་སྟོན་སྨོན་ལམ་ཚུལ་ཁྲིམས་ཀྱི་མཛད་རྣམ་དང་གསུང་རྩོམ།). Following the formal release, Lopon Karma Phuntsho presents the account of why and how the book was created. The original texts, he shares, are in dbu med manuscript and were discovered about twenty years ago in the Nechu temple of Drepung monastery in Tibet. The texts are in volumes 50 and 61 of the Collection of Kadam Writings published by Paltsek Bodyig Penying Zhibjugkhang. The original texts, which are in archaic and difficult dbu med script with many abbreviations, were rendered in modern computer typeset so as to make the writings easily available to all Tibetan readers.

The book contains 32 works, including 30 titles attributed to Kyotön Monlam Tshultrim, one biography of Kyotön by his student, and a long introduction by the editor in English. He mentions how some titles from the two volumes from Drepung were excluded from this book, as they appear to be by other authors. He also explains the significance of Narthang and the early Kadam tradition for buddha-nature studies and how Kyotön lived at an interesting period of Tibetan religious history. The interest to publish the writings of this master came about as Kyotön has written several short and interesting works related to buddha-nature, which present the meditative tradition of Maitreya's teachings passed down from Tsen Khawoche.

The typeset was created and the layout and design done by the staff of Loden Foundation, which published the book with funding from Tsadra Foundation.

Interview
The Basis for Buddhahood: The Naturally Luminous Mind and Buddha-Nature in the Early Mahāmudrā Tradition by Casey Forgues
Why are we able to attain enlightenment? Is buddha-nature merely a metaphor for emptiness or something more? Is buddhahood something that is produced or uncovered? In this conversation, Casey Forgues explores these questions and more with Lopen Karma Phuntsho by referencing some of the earliest Mahāmudrā masters, including Nāropa, Marpa, and Gampopa. This discussion focuses on how the luminous mind (also sometimes known as clear light) was emphasized in terms of the basis, path, and fruition in this tradition, and how the three can be merged through meditative practices on luminosity.

In the recent publication Buddha Nature Across Asia, edited by Klaus-Dieter Mathes and Casey Forgues (Kemp), Casey contributes a chapter focused on an important concept related to buddha-nature and our innate propensity for buddhahood—natural luminosity (prakṛtiprabhāsvaratā), the theory that the inherent condition of mind is luminous and pure, and afflictions (kleśa) are merely adventitious. While this idea is found in the Pāli canon, it came to be particularly thematized as the basis for buddhahood among the various Mahāyāna traditions. The natural luminosity of mind is a central topic in the Ratnagotravibhāga and came to be understood by some commentators to be synonymous with buddha-nature, especially within the Tibetan Kagyü Mahāmudrā tradition. Casey provides a semantic gloss of the term among key Indian canonical texts, including sūtra, tantra, and dohā sources, that directly influenced the doctrine of natural luminosity among the early Mahāmudrā teachings. She looks into how Maitrīpa (986–1063), Nāropa (1016–1041), and Marpa (1012–1097) in particular understood the luminous mind to be inseparable from the dharmakāya, which led to later traditional Mahāmudrā understandings of buddha-nature. While buddha-nature sources are not extensively referenced in the earliest available Mahāmudrā teachings, Casey demonstrates how the doctrine of natural luminosity directly influenced teachings on buddha-nature, and vice versa, in the tradition.

Casey Forgues (Kemp) is a PhD candidate at the University of Vienna and editorial director of Khyentse Vision Project. Casey received her MPhil in Tibetan Studies at the University of Oxford and has translated sūtras for 84000. Her research focuses on tantric philosophical views of the luminous nature of mind in the early Mahāmudrā tradition (eleventh-thirteenth centuries). She is the coeditor of Buddha Nature Across Asia and has published on topics including death and dying in tantric Buddhism, buddha-nature, the six yogas of Nāropa, and the Kalācakra tradition.
