In the Jonang tradition, it generally refers to the Zhentong Madhyamaka philosophy as it was developed and systematized by Dölpopa. In this context, the Great Madhyamaka refers to the presentation of ultimate truth, while Madhyamaka describes the emptiness of the relative level of truth. In the Nyingma tradition, Great Madhyamaka refers to the subtle, inner Madhyamaka that unifies the philosophical positions of Nāgārjuna and Asaṅga. This is presented in opposition to the coarse, outer Madhyamaka that is the dialectic approach of Prāsaṅgika and Svātantrika. In the Kagyu tradition, the term is used in a similar vein in that Madhyamaka is used to refer to philosophical inquiry, while Great Madhyamaka is used to refer to the view arrived at through yogic accomplishment. However, in all of these traditions, Great Madhyamaka is heavily associated with buddha-nature (''tathāgatagarbha'') and the definitive status of these teachings. महामध्यमक Great Middle Way Great Madhyamaka Noun Uma Chenpo Mahāmadhyamaka Tibetan དབུ་མ་ཆེན་པོ་ Great Madhyamaka dbu ma chen po Great Madhyamaka;Great Madhyamaka;Great Madhyamaka;Uma Chenpo; Great Middle Way; 2019-07-19T15:11:37Z 2458684.1330671 2019-07-19T15:11:37Z 2458684.1330671 true great madhyamaka Great Madhyamaka - The term ''Great Madhyamaka'' is utilized in different contexts depending on the tradition.
