ALEX NOTE: Let's add an essay here for a general audience that introduces the story of buddha-nature from the perspective of the key people involved in the translating of texts, the teaching lineages, and the interlocutors in the major debates. This could be more than a few paragraphs for sure, but does not need to be exhaustive as we could then see about commissioning a longer essay on the topic, or see if we can get contributions from other writers who have already written on similar subjects.
