Kaarine Alejandra #9: Buddha also did not teach that we have an innate "Buddha Nature".

This is surprising to me - not because I believed it was so but because I recall discussions saying exactly this. Could you please provide references that would clear up what Buddha did teach in regards to what, if anything, is innate for us humans?

BTW, I have trouble with the idea that a serial rapist has Buddha nature.

Hi Plogsties, if you want to continue exploring the idea of 'Buddha Nature' there's a thread here about its origins, which can be added to:
