First Thought, Worst Thought
The idea that “everyone has buddhanature” means that everyone has the capacity
to awaken, not that we just have to get out of the way of our
intuition. It is the nature of greed, hatred, and delusion, deep in our
minds, to disguise themselves, and to mislead us into harmful behavior.
We do have the potential to awaken, but we must do the hard work of
distinguishing when we are motivated by greed, hatred, and delusion, and
when we are motivated by their opposites—generosity, kindness, and
wisdom.
