Buddha Nature( 仏性)
• Buddha Nature is a Mahayana notion that all sentient beings possess and inherently pure nature identical to that of the Buddhas, worldly or cosmic. This Buddha-ness is one of the issues that clearly differentiates Mahayana and Theravada. For Teravada, there is no notion suggesting that all beings can become Buddhas.

Thingking about ETERNAL
Mahayana Buddhism ⇒ Using Imagination "Eternal" Far away from this world.
We might not reach Pure Land even if practice so hard, But we try to do it.
Thanks to Eternal Buddha(Amida), we shall go to Pure land.
