1.136
The Master, seeing that those of various schools raising difficult questions all gave rise to ill intentions, and that many gathered below his seat, took pity on them and said: 'Practitioners of the Way should completely eradicate all thoughts of good and evil. Having no name that can be named, it is designated as svabhāva; the nature of non-duality is called the real nature. All gates of teaching are established upon the real nature; at these words, you must see it for yourselves.' When the people heard this spoken, they all bowed and requested to serve him as their master.
