|BnwPersonFeaturedContent=The 14th Dalai Lama on the Third Turning: 
:In the third turning we find a detailed explanation of the path for attaining enlightenment. It emphasizes the potential that we all have for future enlightenment. This potential, called ''Tathagatagarbha'', or Buddha nature, is something we have always had, from time without beginning. When we talk about the truth of the path, we are not talking about something completely foreign to our nature, which might suddenly appear like a mushroom, as though without a seed or cause. It is because we have this foundation or capacity for ultimate omniscience that we are able to attain enlightenment. 
:     The texts belonging to the second turning demonstrate the empty nature of phenomena, while the ''Sutra of Buddha-Nature'' and other teachings relating to the third turning emphasize wisdom, the clear and luminous aspect of mind.
