English	Asaṅga did not explain the viewpoint of the Sublime Continuum in the tradition of Mind-Only or Svātantrika, but explained it in the tradition of Prāsaṅgika. He cites an Abhidharma text, “The beginningless element is the abode of all phenomena . . .,”182Cited under Asaṅga, Compendium of Mahāyāna, I.1 (D. 4048), 3a. as a means of knowing the existence of buddha-nature. This accords with Candrakīrti’s description of the basis of intention for the basic consciousness being emptiness. The Compendium[p.108]The Profound Reality of Interdependence Duckworth, Douglas S., trans. The Profound Reality of Interdependence: An Overview of the Wisdom Chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva. By Künzang Sönam. New York: Oxford University Press, 2019. of Mahāyāna cites this passage to establish the existence of the basic consciousness. 183Cited under Asaṅga, Compendium of Mahāyāna, I.1 (D. 4048), 3a. See also Waldron, The Buddhist Unconscious, 129. When the Commentary on the Spirit of Awakening says, “Like a magnet and nearby. . .,”184Nāgārjuna, Commentary on the Spirit of Awakening (D. 1800), 39b. it uses the name “basic consciousness,” but it is simply designating the mental consciousness with the term “basic consciousness.” It does not teach a basic consciousness that is essentially different from the six collections of consciousness, as is stated in Tsongkhapa’s explanation of the Introduction to the Middle Way.

Abhidharma - Abhidharma generally refers to the corpus of Buddhist texts which deals with the typological, phenomenological, metaphysical, and epistemological presentation of Buddhist concepts and teachings. The Abhidharma teachings present a metaknowledge of Buddhist sūtras through analytical and systemic schemas and are said to focus on developing wisdom among the three principles of training. The Abhidharma is presented alongside Sūtra and Vinaya as one of the three baskets of the teachings of the Buddha. Skt अभिधर्म  Tib ཆོས་མངོན་པ།  Ch 阿毗达磨

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
