Norman Foster translates this as "There's only one point"
There are libraries, whole building complexes throughout Asia holding the teachings of the Buddha and commentaries on them. The "Buddhist Digital Resource Center" (formally known as the TBRC) has scanned 15 million pages of Buddhist teachings from across the Buddhist world and made them available online. If you search Google for "mindfulness" you get about 270 million results.
According to this slogan, all of those teachings are aimed at one thing: In order to be happy and to benefit the world, we have to stop clinging to this old dried up belief of who we are. We have to open up and look around. We have to pay more attention to the world around us, the other beings around us, and less attention to our "selves", our ego.
The word "ego" has lots of different meanings, so it's worth being precise about how Buddhism thinks of what we've translated as "ego" in English.
Ego from the Buddhist point of view is a sort of shell or cocoon made up of concepts and habits that keeps us separate from the world.
It's one of if not the most powerful ideas in the world - that each of us is separate, alone, distinct, isolated. This idea drives a lot of our behavior and it causes a lot of suffering - maybe all the suffering!
In Buddhism there's a sense that this thought pattern called ego is so deeply engrained that it has volition, it has will. It wants to survive and perpetuate itself. Of course it can't, because everything is impermanent, but damn it it is going to try.
But ego is not who "we" are. Our experiences are much wider than this cocoon can hold. We know this. We have many moments of looking outside our cozy, slightly stinky claustrophobic cocoon apartments and seeing the world for what it is.
The spiritual path in one sense is just a process of opening the window on this cocoon, cracking the door, getting afraid, slamming it shut, figuring out why you got afraid, and venturing out again.
So this slogan "All dharma agrees at one point" is saying, as Pema Chodron says "The entire Buddhist teachings (dharma) are about lessening one's self absorption, one's ego-clinging. This is what brings happiness to you and all beings."
There's a secondary point that gets made in many of the commentaries on this slogan, and it harkens back to a point Jim Rosen was making last week about being your own meditation guide.
The point is that you can measure your spiritual progress by examining how much time you spend thinking about yourself vs how much time you spend experiencing the world.
