Question

Do we all have equal potential?

Answer

No. Now, there are concepts. Concepts, say, that everybody, even animals and creatures, have Buddha potential. It is a concept. There aren't many animals that are going to become a Buddha today. There aren't many people who are becoming a Buddha or even partly enlightened today. So, do we all have this kind of equal potential, no. There may be potential, but it is not equal. The potential for me to find more peace of mind tomorrow is greater potential than almost everybody who lives in the normal world. I have a greater potential to find peace of mind tomorrow. My potential is not equal to other people. Again, when I was talking the other day about equality and other things, we are just not all equal. And even though we all have potential, it is not equal potential.
