“The Unborn is the origin of all things; no beginning precedes it. It is the origin of all Buddhas.”

To the card
Both Bankei cards come from the same continuous section of teaching. The old Japanese wording is documented as a source quotation, not collated against the first printing. なが is an editorially transmitted spelling of the particle が.
