The Lion's Roar: A Commentary on Sugatagarbha
By Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche
Prologue
1st teaching, 16-Dec-2008: How is buddha nature taught in sutra, tantra and Dzogchen?
Introduction
2nd teaching, 17-Dec-2008: Our teacher the Buddha has taught on buddha nature emphazizing sugatagarbha's essence (Wyl. ngo bo) by teaching on emptiness. On other occasions, he gave clarifications on its nature (Wyl. rang bzhin) by explaining its primordially present qualities. It is crucial to understand that those two aspects are in union. See Tibetan: Mipham gsung 'bum, Vol 4., p. 564-565. English: Duckworth, p.147-148
3rd teaching, 18-Dec-2008: Accuracy of scriptures can be examined by the three types of investigation and understanding establishes irreversible trust by means of the three types of valid cognition.[1] How can buddha nature (tathagatagarbha) be established in this way, as being empty in essence while cognizant in nature? See Tibetan: Mipham gsung 'bum, Vol 4., p. 566-567. English: Duckworth, p.148-149
