Zhentong
''Rangtong'' and ''shentong'' are two distinctive views on emptiness ( sunyata) and the two truths doctrine within Tibetan Buddhism. Rangtong (; "empty of self-nature") is a philosophical term in Tibetan Buddhism which is used by Tibetan defenders of shentong, like Dölpopa, to distinguish the majority Madhyamaka teaching on the nature of śūnyatā or "emptiness", namely that all phenomenon are empty of an enduring and/or unchanging essence or "self," and that this emptiness is not an absolute reality, but a mere nominal characterisation of phenomena. It is related to the '' prasangika'' approach, which argues that no positive statements should be made to deconstruct the notion of inherent existence, but only arguments which show the logical implications and absurdity of statements. This position is the mainstream Gelugpa interpretation of Madhyamaka, one of the main Mahayana schools, which dominates Vajrayana Buddhism. ''Shentong'' ( Wylie: ''gzhan stong'', "emptiness of other ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
