“Every Thing Is Buddha-Nature”

 

Photograph by John Diamond, M.D.

Zhanran, from the Chinese Tiantai School of Buddhism, proclaimed that “even non-sentient beings have Buddha-nature.”

This was transmitted to Japan by the monk Saichō and became Tendai Buddhism.

Every thing, every creature, is the Buddha-nature.

 

I hold this rock
– I Hold it –
and at times
I do Know.

And nearly always
when photographing.
