Mike,
If 'Buddha Mind' is a supra-natural phenomenon, it is not necessarily
amenable to rational analysis.
If Buddha Mind is a natural phenomenon, it should be amenable to
rational, psychological, physiological and neurological analyses.

Mike,
This is the magnificent Act of Faith and Hope which is the foundation of
Zen and Buddhism, which can dispel doubt and confusion, and bring
tranquility, hope, joy and guidance to many.
I am reluctant to touch it with rational analysis.
