TAPPING INTO BUDDHA NATURE

My notion of Shambhala is to create enlightened 
society out of impossibilities.  The logic there 
is:  the more impossibilities we experience, as 
rawness and ruggedness -­ or even as 
pseudo-gentility -­ the more we find there is 
always buddha nature, which we can tap like 
finding fresh spring water in a dry highland 
valley, or for that matter, finding crude oil in the midst of a cotton field.
