The ultimate precepts: (All sentient beings originally possess the Buddha-nature; one who upholds the ultimate precepts is a person who recognizes the mind and sees the nature. When seeing the nature, thoughts and concepts do not arise, and one gives rise neither to discrimination nor to outflows and habits. One enters the non-precepts, with neither self nor other, neither defiled nor pure, without self and without person, without thought and without discrimination, without master and without governor, without stinginess and without begrudging, having no need of a single thing. All desires are eternally quelled, equal to empty space, the same as insentient things, body and mind not acting of themselves. Precept and transgression are non-dual. One who can know thus is a person who truly upholds the precepts.)
