74 Dharma of Equality
You should know that Buddha attains the omniscient wisdom, examines
all the meanings, has no doubts about the dharma of equality, bears no
mind and no appearance, doesn’t leave and doesn’t stop, passes
beyond all measures and boundaries, stays away from the two sides,
dwells in the middle way, and surpasses all the words.

precepts for Zen practitioners. The old monk replied that only one
precept needed to be kept in mind: see the equality of all things.)
