doctrine important for many schools of Mahayana Buddhism. The Buddha Nature or Buddha Principle (Buddha-dhatu) is taught to be a truly real, but internally hidden, eternal potency or immortal element within the purest depths of the mind, present in all sentient beings, for awakening and becoming a Buddha. In some Mahayana sutras it is equated with the eternal Buddhic Self, the Essence (svabhava) or Soul (atman) which is nothing less than the uncreated and deathless Buddha himself. Nagarjuna, the founder of Madhyamaka, presents a view that states that Buddha-nature is Shunyata (empty).[citation needed] The primary sutras on Buddha-nature maintain that what the Buddha-nature is empty of is not its own ever-enduring reality but impermanence, impurity, moral defects, and suffering - in other words, the painful constrictions and imperfections of samsara.

  • @TheYellowellies there is no beginning in a cycly. Each day restarts the same as the last.

  • @lostinthemix Question-what day did the world begin?Was it A Saturday?a Sunday?perhaps A Monday?

    your statement is meaningless

  • @johnyjamie WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU SPEAK OF TO SUPPORT YOUR RIDICULOUS BIBLE??? THERE IS NONE!

  • Regardless of the beliefs of a person, the arguing that occurrs in the comments section of this video is not appropriate action for the followers of any of the beliefs of the postees.

    I think everyone can agree on the fact that the attempt to convert someone to another religion is wrong to do. Every single belief system believes it's way is the right way, so you need to have empathy. You should have empathy to understand that in the eyes of another your way is wrong just as you believe theirs

  • @johnyjamie it is very wrong to say someone will be punished in hell within your religion by the way

  • The speaking sounds "machine" not Human, not feelings, no love....

  • I cant listen to this. The voice is creepy

  • @SgtGizmo23 Hate is like saltwater the more they drink the worse it tastes.
