In Buddhism, the view that the five aggregates (pañca-skandha, phung po lnga) are “self” (ātman, bdag) or “mine” (ātmīya, bdag gi ba) has been traditionally termed the view of a real body (satkāyadṛṣṭi, ’jig tshogs la lta ba), and is considered false.
Tsong kha pa blo bzang grags pa (1357–1419) argues that the dBu ma thal ’gyur ba (*Prāsaṅgika) school has its own theory on how to define this view. In Tibetan, when one considers A to be B, the contents of A and B are expressed as the basis (dmigs pa) and the apprehension aspect (rnam pa) respectively. As mentioned in my earlier article 2023, 29–31, Tsong kha pa asserts that the basis of the view of a real body is “self” or “mine,” and the apprehension aspect is “what is established as truth.”
This study focuses on Tsong kha pa’s discussion of the basis of the view of a real body, and examines the differences between the views of the dBu ma thal ’gyur ba school and those of other schools. Based on these, the characteristics of Tsong kha pa’s perspective on the view of a real body are clarified.
