Buddha Nature

All around me I see clear evidence of the Christlike, loving, Buddha nature present in each one of us.  Publically, it is most apparent in people’s response after some sort of disaster strikes and more privately it is quite apparent daily within the recovery meetings I attend or just generally in response to a person or animal in need.  Personally, I have experienced both my selfish, self-centered side and the Christlike, loving, Buddha nature side, which is also much more enjoyable, feels stronger and truer.  The Christlike, loving, Buddha nature side is sometimes seen as weak, which it is not.  The strength within that side is long lasting and far reaching, as opposed to the temporal strength of self-centered actions.
