'Buddha Nature' Since
the Buddha is essentially Dharmakaya and Dharmakaya Sunyata and since
this Sunyata permeates all beings, the latter are endowed with Buddha-nature. --- Beings
are endowed with Buddha-nature since in the Tathata of Buddhas and of
sentient beings there is no differentiation into good or bad, great or
small, high or low. --- As silver
is found in and may be refined from its ore, sesame oil pressed from its
seed and butter churned from milk, so in all beings may Buddhahood become
a reality.
(All quotes from Gampopa's "Jewel Ornament of Liberation" translated by H V Guenther) |
