Often when writers use terms for concepts like "Buddha nature", I'm not sure the writers understand the concept themselves. A good practice, I find, is attempting to paraphrase the concept in common words and then to use that paraphrase in the novel. For example, I understand "Buddha nature" to mean "the universal, immanent potency of all living beings to become Buddha", that is, to achieve enlightenment. I would therefore rephrase your example as something like: > At your deepest core, your ability to achieve enlightenment is waiting quietly for you. * * * _English is not my mother tongue, and you might find a better way to phrase that sentence._
