73) The Seventy-third Gate: The balanced state, as a part of the state of truth
The balanced state, as a part of the state of truth, is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we recognize that all dharmas are in equilibrium. (Nishijima/Cross)
Branches of samadhi are a gate of realizing Dharma; they know the oneness of all things. (Tanahashi)
Gate Gatha:
1. Is all dharmas are in equilibrium equal to know the oneness of all things?
2. How does equanimity allow us to recognize that all dharmas are in equilibrium?
3. Write a new Gate Gatha.
