Commentary of Ratnagotravibhāga Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra

SOURCE TEXT

Composed by Dhondup Rinchen, the first teacher of Tsongkhapa, this clear and moderate-size commentary presents an interpretation of Buddha-Nature as reality which has latent qualities of the Buddha. Thus, Dhondup Rinchen's interpretations differs from the position held by his student Tsongkhapa and the latter's followers. He refutes the position held by earlier Tibetan scholars, which one finds later adopted by the Gelukpa tradition.

Geluk - The Geluk tradition traces its origin to Tsongkhapa, who propagated a modified version of the Kadampa lojong and lamrim teachings. It is the dominant tradition of Tibet, having established its control of the government under the figure of the Dalai Lama. Tib. དགེ་ལུགས་
