មហាយាន "The "Buddha-dhatu" [Buddha Principle, "Buddha Nature"] of beings inheres / abides within the five skandhas [transitory components of the being]."
មហាយាន "The "Buddha-dhatu" is the True Self and, like a diamond, for example, it cannot be destroyed".
មហាយាន The teaching of a "Buddha Principle" ("Buddha-dhatu") or "Buddha Nature" innate to and inseparable from all sentient beings is a doctrine which is indicated by the Buddha in a number of Mahayana sutras to constitute the "absolutely final culmination" of his Dharma (see Nirvana Sutra). The essential idea (articulated in the Tathagatagarbha sutras, but not accepted by all Mahayana) is that no being is without a concealed but indestructible interior link to Awakening (bodhi), and that this link is an uncreated element ["dhatu"] or principle deep inside each being which constitutes nothing less than the deathless, diamond-like "essence of the Self" ("Nirvana Sutra"). In the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, the Buddha declares:
មហាយាន The actual "seeing and knowing" of this "Buddha-dhatu" (co-terminous with the Dharmakaya or Self of Buddha) is said to usher in nirvanic Liberation. This "Buddha-dhatu" or Tathagatagarbha is revealed to be both immanent (found in every single person, ghost, god and creature, etc.) and transcendental (it is uncreated, deathless and ultimately beyond rational grasping or conceptualisation). Yet it is this already real and present, hidden internal element of bodhi (Awakeness) which, according to the Tathagatagarbha sutras, prompts beings to seek after Liberation from worldly suffering and enables them to attain the spotless bliss which lies at the heart of their being. Once the veils of negative thoughts, feelings and unwholesome behaviour (the kleshas) have been eliminated from the mind and character, the indwelling "Buddha-dhatu" (Buddha Principle / "Buddha Nature") is enabled to shine forth unimpededly and to transform the seer of it into a Buddha. Thus the "Buddha-dhatu" teaching is both an ontological and a soteriological doctrine: it reveals the immortal, Buddhic "True Self" (as the Buddha in the "Mahaparinirvana Sutra" repeatedly terms it) which is found to lie at the core of each being when all the obscuring, transient elements of the false ego are seen through and transcended, and it further verbalises the liberative and transformative power inherent in the Tathagatagarbha when once that vision of the innermost essence or svabhava of oneself and all other beings has been secured.
