妙法蓮華經文句 2.85

2.85

「文殊師利」，此云妙德，《大經》云：「了了見佛性，猶如妙德等。」《無行經》云「滿殊尸利」，《普超》云「濡首」，《思益》云：「雖說諸法而不起法相、不起非法相，故名妙德。」《悲花》云：「願我行菩薩道，所化眾生皆於十方先成正覺，令我天眼悉皆見之，我之國土皆一生菩薩，悉令從我勸發道心，我行菩薩道無有齊限。寶藏佛言：『汝作功德甚深甚深，願取妙土，今故號汝名文殊師利，在北方歡喜世界作佛，號歡喜藏摩尼寶積佛。』」今猶現在，聞名滅四重罪，為菩薩像，影響釋迦耳。觀心性理，三德祕密，不縱不橫故名妙德。

'Mañjuśrī' is translated here as Wondrous Virtue. The Great Sūtra says: 'Clearly seeing the buddha-nature, just like Wondrous Virtue and others.' The Wuxing jing says 'Man-shu-shi-li'; the Puchao jing says 'Moistened Head'; the Siyi jing says: 'Although speaking of all dharmas, one does not give rise to the characteristics of dharmas nor to the characteristics of non-dharmas; therefore he is named Wondrous Virtue.' The Beihua jing says: 'May it be that as I practice the bodhisattva path, the sentient beings I convert all attain correct awakening first throughout the ten directions, causing my heavenly eye to see them all; that the beings of my land are all bodhisattvas of one remaining lifetime, all brought to be encouraged by me to generate the aspiration for awakening; and that my practice of the bodhisattva path has no limits. Ratnagarbha Buddha said: "The merits you have created are extremely deep; you have vowed to take a wondrous land; now I therefore name you Mañjuśrī. In the northern Joyful world you will become a buddha named Joy-Treasury-Maṇi-Jewel-Accumulation Buddha."' Now he is still present; hearing his name eradicates the four grave offenses; he acts as a bodhisattva to manifest shadow and echo for Śākyamuni. In contemplation of mind, the principle of the nature of the mind is the secret of the three virtues, neither vertical nor horizontal, hence called Wondrous Virtue.
