bnw short person bio: Tsongkhapa Lobzang Drakpa was one of the most influential Tibetan Buddhist scholars of the last millennium. Born in Amdo, he travelled to U-Tsang in his youth, never to return to his homeland. In U-Tsang he studied with numerous teachers of all traditions and engaged in many retreats resulting in his development of a fresh interpretation of Nāgārjuna's Madhyamaka view and a reinvigoration of the monastic Vinaya. Widely regarded as an emanation of Mañjuśrī, Tsongkhapa composed eighteen volumes of works of which the majority dealt with tantric subjects. He was the founder of Ganden Monastery, which became the central monastery of the Geluk tradition that was founded on his teachings and writings.

pos empty lumin: Tathāgatagarbha as the Emptiness That is a Non-implicative Negation (without enlightened qualities)
pos svata prasa: Prāsaṅgika (ཐལ་འགྱུར་)
pos svata prasa notes: Wangchuk cites Tsongkhapa's students and commentators on this issue: *He quotes mkhas grub rje as stating, "In our system, Jé Rinpoché (rje rin po che that is, Tsongkhapa) mentions that... The content of the Uttaratantra is in conformity with Prāsaṅgika-Madhyamaka." Wangchuk, Tsering, ''The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows'', p. 89. *And later on,, "Similarly, Chöwang Drakpé Pel states, "The All-knowing Jétsün (rje btsun, that is, Tsongkhapa) repeatedly made the roar of a lion amongst an assembly of scholars proclaiming that the ultimate view of the ''Abhisamayālamkāra'' and the ''Uttaratantra'' falls within the system of Prāsaṅgika-Madhyamaka." Wangchuk, Tsering, ''The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows'', p. 89.
pos wheel turn: Second Turning
pos wheel turn notes: Wangchuk quotes mkhas grub rje as stating, "In our system, Jé Rinpoché (rje rin po che, that is, Tsongkhapa) mentions that the ''Uttaratantra'' primarily comments on the meaning of those sutras that are in conformity with the middle-wheel teachings, such as the Tathāgatagarbhasūtra, Samādhirājasūtra, Jnānālokasūtra, Aṅgulimālāsūtra, Śrīmālādevīsūtra, and so forth." Wangchuk, Tsering, ''The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows'', p. 89.
pos yoga madhya: Madhyamaka
pos yoga madhya notes: Note that Wangchuk maintains that he developed this certainty later in his career. *He quotes his ''Golden Rosary of Excellent Exposition'' as stating that the Mind-Only presentation of buddha-nature as, "the viewpoint explicated in the ''Uttaratantra''." Wangchuk, Tsering, ''The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows'', p. 90. *Though he later quotes his presumably final stance as: "In his ''Illuminating the Thoughts of the Madhyamaka'', Tsongkhapa clearly states, "The great master Asaṅga also did not explain the ''Uttaratantra'' according to the Cittamātra School, rather he explicated it according to the Madhyamaka School." Wangchuk, Tsering, ''The Uttaratantra in the Land of Snows'', p. 93.
