Right, I might as well attempt a guess, even if only to try and get another sentence that follows the rule.
Spoiler:
A sentence possesses the Buddha nature if and only if it contains the word 'or' 1 or more times

Of course, the master could give a sentence that does not possess the Buddha nature, but that your guess says would. But fortunately he was being more helpful!
Anyway:
Are we ingesting ourselves?
Does not possess the Buddha nature

Oh indeed, but I was hoping that the zenmaster would be helpful.
If I truely wanted to force another one, my guess would have been:
"A sentence possesses enlightenment if and only if it is this sentence: "Aardvarks can be lethal if soaked or burnt ""
Anyway:
Aardvarks can be deceptively cunning.
Does not possess the Buddha nature.

Grrrr.umble. That was exactly what I was going to guess too, except for this sentence! I think this is a case of the students being more enlightened than the master!

I think Paz strictly speaking should have won the round, but I don't suppose you would mind me posting my own rule?

Go for it, I've had my fill of responding to guesses for now.
