Where the Buddhas abide

Jan-Ulrich Sobisch

Abstract

Jigten Sumgön does not subscribe to the common view that Buddhahood is cessation or that the Buddhas, after obtaining liberation, dwell in the sphere of peace, or in a Buddha field. Instead they dwell in the natural continuum (khams rgyud) of all beings, which is defined by Rigdzin Chökyi Dragpa as the Buddha nature (sugatagarbha) of all beings.
