All Merits Are Equal

Good men and good women! The Bodhi Mind, indeed, contains all these aforementioned merits and countless others. However, you should understand that all Dharmas and all merits are, in reality, equal. And why? Just because the Bodhi Mind produces all the actions of all bodhisattva and also because all the Tathagatas of the three periods have issued from the Bodhi Mind. Therefore, good men and good women, if one has the mind of Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi, then he or she will surely attain the Dharma of Superior Merits and hold the key to the Tao of Wisdom.
