I disagree. I have learned the most from people who were not trying
to teach me anything. I have learned a great deal from you. When you
are ready to understand, the entire Cosmos conspires to help you
access the Buddha-Dhatu within. But this is just my Pureland Deep-
Listening. The inconceivable Dharmakaya is my teacher. In this Saha
world we are all students and we are all teachers. Just don't try to
second-guess what is being taught.

Yes, we do have the innate capacity, imo. But most people haven't
ripened to this Deep Listening yet. In their own good time they
will. "Spring comes and the grass grows by itself."

But what is THIS? No teacher can give you THIS.
I bow to the Infinite Light!
