No criticism detected. Perhaps I can rephrase. By abstaining from adding to the problem, one has mitigated and minimized damage. Such non-action casts unobstrusive ripples into the social atmosphere, influencing others quietly, often unbeknownst to them. Such are my observations.
Your dog *has* Buddha nature or your dog *is* Buddha nature? There's a significant difference, at least for Zhaozhou and Dōgen.

The monks question and Zhao Zhou reply suggests that ones Buddha nature transmigrates from one incarnation to another.
