【Dharma Talk by Venerable Master Ren Da】Since the countless kalpas, originally all living beings have the nature which is fair and equal, it does not increase, not diminish, it is not produced, not destroyed, not defiled, not pure, unchanged eternally from ancient times up to date. This invisible and formless nature is also known as self-nature, Dharmanature or Buddha nature. 一切众生无量劫以来，本来具有个个平等，不增不减，不生不灭，不垢不净，亘古亘今永恒不变的东西，这就是无形无相的性，也叫做自性、法性、或者说佛性。故从理上讲，众生平等。【释仁炟法语】
