On Buddha-nature: "As is stated in the King of Meditative Absorption Sutra: The Essence of the Well-gone One pervades all migrators. The Small Parinirvana Sutra says: All sentient beings have the Essence of the Thus-gone One.' Also, the Sutra of the Great Parinirvana says: For example, as butter permeates milk, likewise the Essence of the Thus-gone One pervades all sentient beings. And in the Ornament of Mahayana Sutra: Even though suchness is not different for any being, One is called "Thus-gone One" when it is fully purified. Therefore, all beings are of its essence."
