<br/>Bill!,<br/><br/>I'm sure you'd agree that you're just as likely to awaken 
to Buddha Nature while sitting on the toilet as you are while sitting on the 
cushion. But that's not the point. A glimpse of Buddha Nature is just an 
initiation or invitation to continue living the Dharma. Without deepening it it 
just becomes one of many experiences (albeit a 'special' experience). 
Enlightenment (for want of a better word) is a moment to moment experience and 
without continuing practice to deepen it it's easy to backslide into unskillful 
living again. <br/><br/>I think Edgar and William believe that after an initial 
glimpse of Buddha Nature that is it - that once experienced there's nothing 
more to do. For Edgar to believe that he experiences Buddha Nature 24/7 just 
goes to show how delusional the ego can be. <br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/>Sent from
