"The spiritual journey is a direct experience, not a matter of belief or disbelief. It is a path of knowing, revealing the truth that all is one."
Sentient Beings
“One of the most important facts that the vast majority of us are ignorant of is that we are each other.”
We Are One. All is One.
There are many different definitions of sentient beings, living creatures that experience consciousness. In Buddhism, all beings are inherently spiritual and differ only by their reincarnation.
All sentient beings have 'Buddha nature' - the inner potential to transcend the condition of saṅkhāra (birth and death) and attain enlightenment - to realise their Buddha nature. We need to be aware that all things are spiritual, and all people, animals, plants, and even 'inanimate' objects in this world have spirits. Although we cannot see or feel the presence of these spirits, we cannot deny their existence.
