Buddha for Mahayana Buddhist is someone who is
like every one of us. So they put emphasis on buddha-nature. So Dharmakaya
Buddha expresses the essential nature of every one of us. Because we have potentiality, after long practice it is
possible for us to attain buddhahood. And every one of us is nothing but the
embodiment of the Buddha.------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-09-00-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay.
