We were born with a seed of Buddha-nature, but we haven’t yet awakened the seed by ourselves. Therefore, when we have troubles, we try to resolve anger with anger. When we are suffering, we try to heal the suffering with more suffering. We are pitiful because of ignorance. We need the teaching of enlightenment. We should awaken the seed of Buddha-nature in our minds, make the seed sprout and cultivate the Buddha-nature, because our spirits can be purified through individual enlightenments.
