LAMA SURYA DAS.
"The innate Buddha-nature or Buddha-ness within each and every single sentient being is genderless, unborn, and undying-more akin to clear light than to our personalities - and timeless, untarnished, and incorruptible.
All beings are endowed with this inner lamp of pure spirit, along with the potential for its divine unfolding. The equanimity of us all is the natural implication of this recognition of universally innate Buddha-nature or Buddhaness, the primordially pure and untrammeled inner light. Thus, one of the principle tenets of Buddhism has always been nonviolence, the protection and cherishing of all forms of life, and the interwoven interdependence of all things, including all creatures great and small."
When I have the opportunity to read Lama Surya Das his words it appears like a naturally fresh waterfall of wisdom brought by humor. Really really great offering for all of us.
