Does a dog have buddha nature?

25 posts in this topic

@Leo Gura I am wrong about the 'I don't know' part as I read it years ago , but I am right about the rest.

Has a dog Buddha-nature? This is the most serious question of all. If you say yes or no, You lose your own Buddha-nature. [1]: see case 18 of Shoyoroku.

Mu is just a pointer for Absolute Infinity.

In essence the koan is telling you: forget about your human self, forget about the dog, and realize that you are the whole fucking universe imagining the human and the dog.

That is Mu.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Dog is God spelled backwards ;)

Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators said exactly the same thing shortly before changing his name by deed poll to "Blieb Alien", blieb being an anagram of bible. He also loved his psychedelics. Some would say perhaps a little too much...….:D
