buddha nature




"Are you a God?" they asked the Buddha.

"No," he replied.

"Are you an angel, then?"

"No."

"A saint?"

"No."

"Then what are you?"

Replied the Buddha, "I am awake."

To Mr. Sness

I have read some of your posts. I liked the store of the wisdom your writing contains.

If you like short stories and paintings, then a short visit to my blogs would be an entertaining one.
