Koan: Does Donald Trump Have the Buddha Nature? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-08-26

We know about the monk who asked whether dogs have Buddha Nature. The question arose at Shasta Abbey, about Richard Nixon. We offered him merit every day, but some objected. The Abbess asked, “Who needs it more?” and that was that. And so it is today.

At meal times we give thanks to the Four Benefactors, the Buddha, the President, our parents and all people. The President replaces the King from earlier times. In either case, it is the protection for Buddhism provided by governments that we are grateful for. That part of the Constitution is working fairly well, even under the worst of Presidents, except for the recent Islamophobia.
