Tathagatagarbha doctrine

Bol

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.In Mahayana and Tantric Buddhism, the Tath¿gatagarbha doctrine (often essentially the same as the Buddha nature concept) teaches that each sentient being contains the intrinsic, effulgent Buddhic element or indwelling potency for becoming a Buddha. There are conflicting interpretations of the idea in Mahayana thought. The idea may be traced to Abhidharmic thought, and ultimately to statements of the Buddha in the Nikayas. Buddha-nature and sugatagarbha are synonyms for tathagatagarbha.
