'''Eternalism''' (Skt. ''nitya dṛṣṭi''; [[Wyl.]] ''rtag pa'i lta ba'' or Skt. ''nityānta''; Wyl. ''rtag pa'i mtha<nowiki>'</nowiki>'') — one of the so-called '[[two extremes]]', eternalism is the belief that there is a permanent and causeless creator of everything; in particular, that one's identity or consciousness has a concrete essence which is independent, everlasting and singular. 

There are many different brands of eternalism; they can be classified into three hundred sixty views, sixty-two false positions, [[eleven systems of Indian philosophy|eleven systems]], and so on. All can, however, be condensed into the [[five tarka]], or speculative systems.<ref>Mipham Rinpoche - Shantarakshita, ''The Adornment of the Middle Way: Shantarakshita's Madhyamakalankara with Commentary by Jamgon Mipham'', Translated by Padmkara Translation Group (Boston: Shambhala, 2005), p. 217.</ref>
