The Buddha Is the Dao

The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable and impartial, embracing all things while remaining apart from them. It knows neither good nor evil, right nor wrong, gratitude nor resentment, joy nor sorrow. The Immortal Dao is the Dao, the Demonic Dao is the Dao, the Yao Dao is the Dao, and Buddhism is the Dao.

Pangu gave birth to the Taiji, from which the two modes and four images followed. The Dao was passed down to three friends, while the two teachings split into Chan and Jie. The leader of the Mystical Sect, one breath divided into the Three Pure Ones.
