Introduction
- 2nd teaching, 17-Dec-2008: Our teacher the Buddha has taught on buddha nature emphazising sugatagarbha's essence (ngo bo) by teaching on emptiness. On other occasions, he gave clarifications on its nature (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. How can buddha nature (tathagatagarbha) be established in this way, as being empty in essence while cognizant in nature?

A. Proof of the Presence of the Tathagatagarbha in all Sentient Beings
The Uttaratantra Shastra says:
- Because the perfect buddhas’s kaya is all-pervading,
Because reality is undifferentiated,
And because they possess the potential,
Beings always have the buddha nature.[1]
