    Talking Can a dog have "Buddha Nature"?

    Here's a question I'm wondering what members would think.

    -Can a dog have "Buddha Nature"?- (Don't say -MU-) sorry, inside joke.
    Nothing is harder to see into than people's nature. The sage looks at subtle phenomena and listens to small voices. This harmonizes the outside with the inside and the inside with the outside.

    Yes, but it is much more common in CATS.

    Perhaps cows may have more of "Buddha nature" hence the MU!

    I have read that the dog is a true Sage, because the dog does not necessarily sleep because because it has to, or have a strong desire to sleep, but simply because it is tired.

    This is, Taoist nature.

    I just read this in a book, take it anyway you want.
    It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.

    Since, in essence, there is neither a dog, nor Buddha Nature, the answer IS MU!

    What is the sound of one turd plopping?

    I thought the whole point was to rise above the poop.

    In essence there is no dog, there is no poop, there is no eating, and there is no Buddha Nature, so there is no dog eating poop with Buddha Nature!
