梵語 sama，巴利語同。即均平齊等，無高下、淺深之差別。指一切現象在共性或空性、唯識性、心真如性等上沒有差別，稱為平等。為「差別」之對稱。如釋尊即否定印度吠陀以來之階級差別而主張「四姓平等」。諸經論中有關平等之思想與用語極多，例如認為佛、法、僧三寶，以及心、佛、眾生三法，於本質上均無差別，故說平等；或顯示本體界之相貌，稱為空平等、真如平等。另如大般若經卷四○九闡論般若波羅蜜、三摩地、菩薩等三者之平等；大智度論卷一○○明示法平等、眾生平等之理；大日經卷一揭舉身、語、意之三密平等。往生論註卷上載，平等是諸法體相，由此所達到之智慧，應無所分別，主觀與客觀亦無區別，此稱智平等；對於眾生亦應等同視之，無高低、親怨之區別，在值得憐憫和具有佛性上，平等無二，此稱眾生平等。又佛稱為平等覺，自性法身稱為平等法身。此外，一乘法乃表示與佛之智慧平等之大慧，稱為平等大慧；普遍於一切而無差別之愛，稱為平等大悲；對一切平等，了悟真理而不起差別見解之心，稱為平等心。空、假、中三觀中之從空入假觀，又稱為平等觀；觀身、語、意三密之平等無差別，稱為三平等觀；不論怨、親之別，一概一視同仁，稱為怨親平等。
　新華嚴經卷五十三離世間品舉出菩薩具有十種平等，即：一切眾生平等、一切法平等、一切剎平等、一切深心平等、一切善根平等、一切菩薩平等、一切願平等、一切波羅蜜平等、一切行平等、一切佛平等，菩薩若安住此法，則得一切諸佛無上平等之法。同經卷三十「十迴向品」亦舉出業平等、報平等等十種平等。又大方等大集經卷五十則舉出眾生平等、法平等、清淨平等、布施平等、戒平等、忍平等、精進平等、禪平等、智平等、一切法清淨平等十種，眾生若具此平等，能速得入無畏之大城。此皆說明人、法、國土、修行乃至諸佛等悉皆平等無有差別之理。〔雜阿含卷二十、大般若經卷五七○平等品、大寶積經卷六○、大乘莊嚴經論卷十二、佛地經論卷五〕（參閱「差別」4088）

===（術語）對於差別之稱。無高下淺深等之別曰平等。南史梁武帝紀曰：「幸同泰寺，設平等會。」五燈會元曰：「天平等，故常覆。地平等，故常載。日月平等，故四時常明。涅槃平等，故聖凡不二。人心平等，故高低無諍。」
