Brunnholzl Luminous Heart (PDF)

"The Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje, is regarded as the architect of the Karma Kagyü interpretations of the view on buddha nature and other key topics that later became central to the philosophical school known as Shentong (“empty of other”). His writings became the authoritative basis for the standard Karma Kagyü position on buddha nature and the touchstone for the writings of subsequent lineage authors on the subject of buddha nature and shentong, such as the eighth Karmapa, mikyö Dorje.

 It is my great delight that Dr. Brunnhölzl has translated the crucial passages on the view in The Profound Reality as well as the two lesser treatises with their commentaries. Karl has been studying and practicing Buddhism for many decades under the guidance of great Buddhist masters, such as the Venerable Khenchen Tsültrim Gyatso Rinpoche."
