Lion's Roar: Affirming Other Emptiness

SOURCE TEXT

Mipam's other "lion's roar"—his Lion's Roar: Affirming Other Emptiness—shows the way he establishes an other-emptiness view that affirms the existence of the ultimate truth as not empty of its own essence. (Source: Duckworth, Douglas. Jamgön Mipham: His Life and Teachings. Boston: Shambhala Publications, 2011: p 58.)

Relevance to Buddha-nature

This text argues that buddha-nature is not empty of its natural qualities but only the adventitious impurities in the context of establishing what is ontologically existent or non-existent on the conventional level. Thus, it justifies the position of the other emptiness in the context of the verifying conventional ontic reality.

Douglas Duckworth at the 2019 Tathāgatagarbha Symposium

Douglas Duckworth presents how buddha-nature is interpreted by Mipam Gyatso (1846–1912). He shows that while Mipam accepts that the qualities of the buddha are primordially present, unconditioned, and not newly produced, they are also empty of inherent existence.
