Shakyamuni Buddha observed the world of humanity closely. He perceived the diversity of all humans: ten people will all have ten differences in infinite variety (such as being young or old, male or female, clever or stupid, rich or poor, good or bad). Each of us, however, has a precious “Buddha Nature” in the depths of our lives which enables us to become a Buddha. With conviction, each one of us must practice Buddhism to awaken. Then, you will become a Buddha just as you yourself are. But it must be done by you. You are the one to acquire true peace and happiness. This is Byodo, the “equality” of all human beings. Shakyamuni Buddha enlightens us all to this principle through (Byodo Daie) “The Supreme Teaching of Equality”
