Buddha-nature, Buddha-dhatu or Buddha Principle (Skt: Tathāgatagarbha; Jap: Bussho), is taught differently in various Mahayana Buddhism traditions. Broadly speaking Buddha-nature is concerned with ascertaining what allows sentient beings to become Buddhas.
Buddha-nature (Classical Chinese: 佛性, modern pinyin fó xìng) literally corresponds to the Sanskrit Buddha-dhātu - "Buddha Element", "Buddha-Principle", but seems to have been used most frequently to translate the Sanskrit "Tathāgatagarbha". The Sanskrit term "tathāgatagarbha" may be parsed into tathāgata ("the one thus gone", referring to the Buddha) and garbha ("root/embryo"). The latter has the meanings: "embryo", "essence"; whilst the former may be parsed into "tathā" ("[s]he who has there"[clarification needed] and "āgata" (semantic field: "come", "arrived") and/or "gata" ("gone").
For the various equivalents of the Sanskrit term "tathāgatagarbha" in other languages (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese), see Glossary of Buddhism, "tathagatagarbha"

Everything is Buddha Nature
Fresh winds shadows lifting
Wide open welcoming hearts
Against the pink sky blackberry tangles
A circle of friendship begin under the stars
And this is life
Full of beauty and wonder
Beauty and wonder
And this is life
Full of beauty and wonder
In the twinkling of an eye it came to me
Peace at last within myself
And the white spray of the waves
And the moon is my night light
And this is life
Full of beauty and wonder
Beauty and wonder
And this is life
Full of beauty and wonder
This I will remember with a smile
I kiss the earth and the cool grass
Perfect pleasure in the eyes
And kick out the pain and fill in the better
Life full of beauty and wonder
Yeah yeah yeah
And this is life
Full of beauty and wonder
This is life, this is life
