The
teaching about the living Buddha found in light beings and bringing
enlightenment to human beings seems identical to the teachings of the Cosmic
Christ, who is present in beings of light and brings enlightenment to humans.
Perhaps
we can, borrowing from today’s science, distinguish between light aa wave and
light as particle. As wave, both the Cosmic Christ and the Buddha Nature extend
everywhere and permeate all beings. As particles, the historical Buddha and the
historical Jesus were particular people from particular cultures operating in a
particular time period. Thus the light of the Buddha and the light of the
Christ have both wave and particle elements to them. As do we who share in
their light. (One River Many
Wells; Matthew Fox)
