Hi.

Then what is Buddha Nature all about?

Fuke (the root of Zen shakuhachi) was a sect of Rinzai
Zen. This brings us back to Josshu's Mu! ("Does a
dog have Buddha Nature?" -- "Mu.") With no Japanese,
I translate Mu as "Don't go there."

I don't even like Zen and here I am in the middle of
it.

Oh, the things life does to me.

Regards,

John Baker
