Of its two main subschools, the Rangtong approach emphasizes the empty aspect of mind s nature, while the Shentong approach emphasizes its clear and radiant aspect.

gloss-def: In the Mahayana, full awakening is often described in terms of the kayas, meaning "bodies" or "dimensions of reality," which are numbered two, three, or four. When they are two, they are the dharmakaya (dimension or body of truth) and the rupakaya (body of form). The dharmakaya is the perfect realization of mind's nature and replete with enlightened qualities; it is nonconceptual and synonymous with emptiness or omniscience. When the kayas are three, the rupakaya is divided into the sambhogakaya (body of bliss or enjoyment) and the nirmanakaya (body of manifestation or emanation). Expressing the nature of radiant clarity, the sambhogakaya is visible only to bodhisattvas on the ten levels and is adorned with the major and minor marks of a buddha. The nirmanakaya is the fully awakened mind that manifests without impediment in a variety of forms and remains visible to ordinary beings; Shakyamuni Buddha is an example of a nirmanakaya. When the kayas are four, the svabhavikakaya (body of the essential nature) refers to the inseparability of the other three.
