What are those one hundred twenty-four? [...] (17) protecting oneself is included in not performing any evil deed and accumulating all merits; (18) protecting others is included in tolerance and gentleness; (19) the absence of distinction (abheda) is included in the space-like thoughts and the wind-like thoughts; (20) a single taste is included in suchness and the absolute truth; [...]’”.
