Edgar,<br/><br/>I've already said that here that Buddha never taught learnt or 
taught something called Buddhism. But he did rediscover the Dharma. He also had 
the best teachers in India teach him meditation techniques before his 
enlightenment. But the key point here is THAT HE WENT AROUND INDIA *TEACHING* 
THE DHARMA. <br/><br/>Likewise, Hui-neng was awakened upon hearing a sutra. It 
was within the confines of a Zen temple that he then went on to write his "no 
dust" poem and that *because* of the teaching relationship of Zen this poem has 
come down to us. Like it or not, there would be no Zen Buddhism without it. I 
suspect you're confused between the difference between the practice and 
traditions of Zen Buddhism and Buddha Nature.<br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/><br/>Sent
