Does a dog have Buddha nature?

You should be able to answer this one being the all wise Buddha guy.

The answer is yes, not MU.
Having the nature innately and inherent, does not mean it's manifest at the moment, except as potential. But if you could see the dog's past present and future it would be clearly there.

Hofstadter, in Godel Escher Bach , who is pretty deeply into Zen, certainly does not have the knowledge you have, he talks a lot about MU, unasking a question I do know a little bit about it but just superficially because hofstadter's knowledge is also superficial.

Originally Chan/Zen was the name of a sect in China (Chan) and Japan (Zen) It became a fad with the intellectuals, Samurai and Certain governmental regimes in Japan but originally sprang from various sects in China that had sprung from Tien-tai Sect.
They focused on riddles and strict zazen meditation. Leaving Tien-Tai was a non-appreciative thing to do. The appropriated lots of Tien-tai but missed the most important things. They diminished the importance of the sutras and replaced real buddhist practice with Koan riddles. The most prominent WERE Hakuin and Dogen, who both returned to the Lotus Sutra in later years but somehow most Zen was based on their earlier years and their fictional founder BODHIDHARMA.

Nichiren called zen
, "The bottomless pit" because they fell into the arrogance of thinking they didn't need to practice that they were Buddha's already. Missing a major point. Theoretically all beings are "Buddhas" already but inactuallity it goes much deeper than that.

I can't comment on something I know nothing about. perhaps we should try to find a mutual ground such as Live Cleo's various showstoppers.

I can't comment on Live Cleo's various showstoppers because I have no idea what it is.

I can add a you tube link to a concert I videoed on 11/5/2022. Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp in Thousand Oaks CA
To me Jeff Beck is the Kubrick of Cosmic Guitar.

The whole concert in 4k

Jeff Beck is not a guitarist who plays pentatonic scales. He plays melodies.
Johnny Depp is now his sidekick disciple and it's fun to watch. The bass player and drummer keyboardist are also pretty involved. Crank it up.

So Johnny Depp's sunk from being a movie star to being involved in rock 'n' roll?

I don't think he has sunk as a movie star either. He says he would rather have been a Rock and Roller in the first place.

Jeff Beck was his idol and now he is working with 78 year old Jeff Beck who's guitar playing is miraculous.

I've been listening to a lot of Lesley Gore here lately . What I can't figure out is Lesley Gore is a pretty bad name for a woman; why didn't she change it to Herman Gore?

Did the Star Child know when he detonated the orbiting nuclear weapons that that would just kick off World War III on the ground , remelting the Earth's crust and selling a whole lot of movie tickets? And endless speculation?

You know, if you try to analyze nonsense like the movie 2001 you'll be there analyzing a long long time but as they say with all such movies it had great special effects.

Buzz Aldrin hated hecklers ,seems I remember he even punched one in the nose , but the one I like is someone in the crowd was yelling "It wasn't real , it wasn't real , it wasn't real " and he replied "Sure seemed real to me."

Einstein had that saying "Logic will take you from point A to point B ; imagination will take you anywhere ".
Imagination can be used to put a man on the moon , it can also be used to create a nuclear weapons system."

Douglas hofstadter in one of his books has an article called "the tumult of InnerVoices " which is a good article to read concerning inner voices.

Yeah I learned the word "mind" pretty early on .
What it's saying , I think it's basically nonsense . Maybe we could write to Pink Floyd and find out.
