Shentong (Tib. གཞན་སྟོང་, Wyl. gzhan stong) — the extrinsic emptiness or “other empty” tradition of Madhyamika, which is most closely associated with the Jonang school of Tibetan Buddhism, maintains that the absolute is not empty of itself (rang tong) but is empty of all other relative phenomena. See also rangtong.
