金剛般若經疏論纂要 1.23

1.23

四、主。具云佛陀，此云覺者。《起信》云：「所言覺義者，謂心體離念。離念相者等虛空界，即是如來平等法身。」則以無念名之為佛。然覺有三義：一、自覺，覺知自心本無生滅；二、覺他，覺一切法無不是如；三、覺滿，二覺理圓稱之為滿。故知有念則不名覺，《起信》云：「一切眾生不名為覺，以無始來念念相續，未曾離念。」又云：「若有眾生能觀無念者，則為向佛智故。」

Fourth, the master. Stated fully, [he is called] 'Buddha'; here translated as 'the Awakened One.' The Awakening of Faith says: 'What is meant by "awakening" is that the essence of the mind is free from thought. That which is free from the characteristics of thought is equal to the realm of empty space; this is the Tathāgata's universal dharmakāya.' Thus, by freedom from thought one is called 'Buddha.' However, awakening has three meanings: first, self-awakening, which is awakening to the knowledge that one's own mind is originally without arising and ceasing; second, awakening others, which is awakening to the fact that all dharmas are nothing other than tathatā; third, complete awakening, which is called 'complete' because the principle of the two awakenings is perfected. Therefore, one knows that if there is thought, one is not called awakened. The Awakening of Faith says: 'All sentient beings are not called awakened, because from beginningless time thought has succeeded thought without cease, and they have never been free from thought.' It also says: 'If there are sentient beings who can contemplate freedom from thought, then they are heading toward the Buddha's wisdom.'
