A monk asked joshu, " has the dog Buddha nature?" Joshu replied, "mu"
T. O. M. s comments.
I have two dogs. Watching them on a daily basis, a person can learn lots from dogs.
They don't require much to be happy.. Two meals a day, a little exercise and a dry bed.
They don't need zen to be completely at ease with the world around them, if they see a cat they will bark.. Then they will forget about it in ten seconds
They don't seem to wonder about the nature of mind, or the void, or if they themselves have Buddha nature.
I don't know if dogs have Buddha nature, but to me, the question seems redundant.. They have their own nature, and they are perfect as they are.. Maybe humans could learn a lesson from dogs, just to be content with existance as it is, right now..
