Buddha Nature

Buddhata. The Buddha-nature, gnosis, enlightenment; potential bodhi remains in every gati, all have the capacity for enlightenment; for the Buddha-nature remains in all as wheat-nature remains in all wheat. This nature takes two forms: The Noumenal, in the absolute sense, unproduced and immortal, and The Phenomenal, in action. While every one possesses the Buddha-nature, it requires to be cultivated in order to produce its ripe fruit.
