In this final episode of three with Professor Guy Newland, we do another GNT Crash Course and Deep Dive into another of the most important concepts in Buddhist Thought, Buddha Nature. Guy first shares his thoughts on the flexibility of the Buddhist Teachings, how different Buddhist Ideas are like Medicine for those People who need those kinds of Teaching. Buddha Nature Teachings are especially important for those who need to hear about their Inner Potential. During our discussion, Guy outlines his way of thinking about Buddhist Approaches as being of three types:

The First Emphasizing The Openness of Reality or Emptiness that we covered in episode 2 The Second: The Inner Perfection of Reality The Third: that Reality is just beyond description . . .

We also look at different ways of thinking of Buddha Nature: as the Deepest Part of the Spirit of Living Things, As the Already Existing Hidden Potential within Living Things, or even that EVERYTHING is just Secretly Buddha Nature . . . Along the way we talk about how ideas cross cultures, Science and Buddhism, whether Buddha Nature is the Holy Spirit, and The Lack of Cholesterol in the Arteries of the World . . . Hmmm . . .Enjoy the Episode.
