Bussho definition
Bussho is Japanese and means Buddha nature. Buddha nature means that we all have the ability to become Buddha or attain Buddhahood. This was a revolutionary thought around the 3rd century A.D. in India, because until then one could only become a so-called Arhat, an enlightened being, and only within a very elite order of monks, but an ordinary person could never become Buddha-like. This was reserved only for Gautama and his few predecessors because this is an event that takes place only every million years.
