"What if the answer is "yes"? Why would saying "yes" make you lose your own Buddha-nature? "

If I say that "this statement is false" is true, isn't that just as much an error as saying that it's false?

How can something be without growing from the source of existence? How an existent thing be part of the source of existence, which does not exist itself?
