ED;
Budha nature is beyond any form and therefore the buddha nature Bill talks
about is the same I'm referring to. The form of the words are only like a
finger pointing to the moon. Knowing how to enter into the buddha nature
doesn't mean in anyway that one is at all time into the wave of buddha nature.
This requires years of training. At times live in a monastery. Attending
retreats to have a good boost... Living in the present moment in body and mind
is not an easy task at all times. But it doesn't mean in anyway being unable
to have taste what is buddha nature about. It's enough to practice mindfulness
and buddha nature can started to gradually unfold by itself. This is an
endless experience of awakening. It's not an static experience.
When buddha nature is absented in me is because I allow myself be drag down
back by forgetfulness, habit energies, ego....and so goes for everybody else.

Mayka,
Then, can we ever know whether the 'Buddha Nature' you talk about is the same
as or is different from the 'Buddha Nature' Bill talks about?
