Everyone already is Buddha nature.
Sometimes people need to unlearn mental and physical
habits covering this truth.
That’s the hard part lol
Great video 👍

I wish you also have Tibetan Buddhist temple here in the Philippines. I really like your dharma talk more than any other Zen buddhist masters' dharma talk.

[Deepak]

Very much true, we all shall become or know that we are already buddha and help the world through unselfish service

I don't understand any of this, but it sounds nice.

Will you tell us more about Buddha nature? Dharma? You mention in this video that you will tell more about this later. Is it already in some other video?

A lot of change has occured upon the misinterpretation of the Tathagarbha teaching of Yogacara. Then, Tathagatagarbha understanding was in line with the Buddha's teachings and Nagarjuna's exposition on sunyata/emptiness. However, later generations in Chinese Buddhism started gearing away from the true understanding of Tathagatagarbha that each of us have the "capacity" (adjective) to be enlightened. It suddenly shifted to the notion of "Buddha nature" (noun) inside of us. A capacity is a flux (no inherent self) since it is just a potential, but a "nature" is a fixed entity (posits a fixed self) that can be awakened just by polishing the alaya consciousness from dirt.
The original teaching of Yogacara was the "elimination" of the alaya consciousness (not polishing it) where karmic seeds are stored causing endless rebirth.
You can study deeply the Yogacara texts, Madhyamika doctrine, Ven. Dhammadipa, and Ven. Yin-shun, and Buddhist history in China and Japan to discover the shift of understanding that occured in Buddhism.

this may be a really stupid question and I feel a bit embarrassed to ask, but if someone points straight at parts of you, you didn't even know before is that it? And can you confuse it with having something to do with the other person? And can you have had all these experiences without being a Buddhist?
I'm really sorry for all my questions, but as soon as I start thinking these days I start becoming super confused. I love your videos. They are short and ring true somehow
