I am not sure if you remember a little while back I mentioned how it is hard for people to believe they could become Buddhas. I won’t say for certain that this is the most common hindrance but of all my years of practicing with others and teaching and guiding this does seem to be one area that is difficult for many people to fully embrace. The fact that the Buddha tells us many times that the teaching of the Lotus Sutra is a teaching which enables all living beings to manifest the inherent potential for Buddhahood that lies within each person seems to be very difficult to grasp. Some people I am afraid think there must be some fine print in the text or some part that was left out of the translation that specifically mentioned their name as the single exception to this universal promise of the Buddha. … These people seem to be content with what little scraps they can get from their practice and refuse to enter the house to live, to enter into and realize enlightenment is in fact within their very lives.
