At that time the World-honored One expressed himself in verses, saying: It is just like what happens when gold is submerged In impure waste, where no one can see it. But someone with supernatural vision sees it And tells people about it, saying If you get it out and wash it clean, You may do with it as you will, Which causes their relatives and family all to rejoice. The Well-departed Ones vision is like this. He sees that for all kinds of beings, The Tathagata nature is not destroyed, Though it is submerged in the muddy silt of klesas. So he appropriately expounds the Dharma And enables them to manage all things, So that the klesas covering the Buddha nature Are quickly removed and beings are purified. ---Tathagatagarbha Sutra

We all lost. I don't know what PowerBall odds are, but typical lotteries have odds of the big prize around 1 in 50 million. If you step on a domestic airliner, your odds of dying are about 1 in 10 million. Dying of influenza in a given year: about 1 in 5,000. Dying from a car accident: also about 1 in 5,000. PowerBall odds are probably about the same as surviving an airliner crash, surviving being struck by lightning, then being stung to death by bees: all in the same day. Datesfat
