"Whenever we meet other people, rather than focusing on their delusions we should focus on the gold of their Buddha nature. … Recognizing everyone as a future Buddha, out of love and compassion we shall naturally help and encourage this potential to ripen."
"Buddha compared our Buddha nature to a gold nugget in dirt, for no matter how disgusting a person’s delusions may be, the real nature of their mind remains undefiled, like pure gold. In the heart of even the cruelest and most degenerate person exists the potential for limitless love, compassion and wisdom. Unlike the seeds of our deluisons, which can be destroyed, this potential is utterly indestructible, and is the pure, essential nature of every living being."
