You can be a Buddha - The buddha-nature is already inside you!

According to the Buddhist scriptures,“Anyone can become a Buddha.”This statement is profoundly true.Because the Buddha is not a supernatural deity,but a human being who embodied deep wisdom and great compassion.He is not a distant symbol,nor a final destination we only reach after death.Note:“There is a teaching in the Middle-Length Discourses (Majjhima Nikāya) that says:The Buddha shares a path that is independent of time.It can be seen and realized in the present moment.It invites people to come and see,guides the way,and allows each person to experience the truth for themselves.”While the Pāli Canon does not explicitly use the term Buddha-nature,it clearly suggests that everyone has the capacity to awaken and realize the truth on their own.The ideas of direct realization and a path visible in the here and noware precisely the foundations upon which later Mahayana teachingsbuilt the concept of Buddha-nature.
