What is Buddha nature or the Tathāgatagarbha ? We'll begin by looking at the roots for these concepts in the early Buddhist texts.

Finally we'll turn to some controversies and disagreements over what such concepts might really mean. • 🧡 If you find this material useful, check out my Patreon page and get fun benefits like exclusive videos, audio-only versions, and extensive show notes: / dougsseculardharma • 🧡 You can also make donations through: https://paypal.me/dougsdharma • 📙 Check out my book, A Handbook of Early Buddhist Wisdom, with a Foreword by Ven.
