Buddha Nature: The Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra with Commentary by Maitreya

Buddha Nature presents the Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra, traditionally attributed to Maitreya, with Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé’s commentary. The work examines the Buddhist teaching that sentient beings possess an inherent capacity for awakening.

Rosemarie Fuchs translates the text with annotations and explanations from Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. It is an extended study of a central Mahayana teaching, not a claim that every passing mental state is already free from confusion.
