Goodness

Everybody has goodness already in their mind. One way to easily see this is by going to a movie where a good character is battling a villain. The good person is being beaten badly; maybe he or she is about to die. It looks like the villain is going to win! That's no good! So everybody in the movie theater is thinking, "No good! No good! Get up! Get the bad person!" If the good character and the others suffer a lot at the hands of the scoundrel, then everybody watching the movie feels upset. Nobody wants the good person to die. The anxiety we feel is the innate goodness we already have in us. "Get up! Get up! Get the bad person!" This mind appears. So that's goodness. This goodness comes from where? It comes from our nature, our true nature. Myself and all beings are not different, and are never separate.
