| Abstract | The Commentary on Enlightened Attitude (Bodhicittavivaraṇa), which is attributed to the tantric Nāgārjuna, takes the ultimate enlightened attitude (bodhicitta) as a direct realization of emptiness, and follows a positive approach to the ultimate, like the sūtras of and commentaries on the Third Wheel of the Doctrine (Dharmacakra). Taking this as Nāgārjuna’s final position, the Commentary on Enlightened Attitude gains an important status for those who see in the Third Wheel of the Doctrine teachings of definitive meaning. The present paper shows that Gö Lotsawa Zhönnu Pel (1392-1481) and his disciple the Fourth Zhamarpa Chödrak Yeshé (1453-1524) follow this approach, but take positive descriptions of the ultimate in the Third Wheel of the Doctrine as the result of a direct experience of emptiness beyond the duality of perceiving subject and perceived object. Standing in the Great Seal (Mahāmudrā) tradition of the Dakpo Kagyü, an ultimate existence of mind, such that self-awareness or the perfect nature exists as an entity, is not accepted by them. |
