[QUOTE="livestium, post: 1961143, member: 629940"] Buddha nature is the essence of enlightenment, it doesn't matter whether one is a Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Jew. All can achieve what is termed the Buddha Nature. I'll try to simplify the idea, its a state of not being attached or clinging to anything in life. Of being aware of our true self, our desires, fears, loves and realizing that they are not who we are, they are a manifestation of our mind or our ego. We are not who we are presented to be, our mind/ego presents us as the sum total of our experiences, that is, we are the representation of our experiences in this world and it is a false representation created by fear and desire mostly. If we can free ourselves from the limitations of our mind and deal with experiences positively it is to the benefit of enlightenment that will lead to Buddha Nature. Meditation is the Key to gaining inner peace from our thoughts, and gaining awareness to our true nature. Buddha Nature can also be considered as the Christ Consciousness, a different name but both are representations of the divinity of mankind. [/QUOTE]
