法華文句記 2.74

2.74

Regarding the application of the four siddhāntas to Guanyin: the name is mundane; Siyi is for persons; invoking the name is antidotal; from 'Jewel Treasury Buddha' onward is the supreme truth. Furthermore, seeing and obtaining bodhi in Siyi is also the supreme truth. 'The lower text' points to the 'Universal Gate Chapter.' The note 'etc.' also lacks [explanation according to] the teachings and origin and traces; in terms of teaching, he is a person of the perfect [teaching], and in terms of origin, he is an ancient buddha. In contemplation of mind, the explanation of the first two characters is not different from below, but the third character differs slightly from below: below, it is explained Phenomenally, taking what is covered as 'sound'; here, it is treated according to what is able to contemplate, taking what is proclaimed as 'sound.' Because of contemplation, teaching is instituted; hence it is said, 'Contemplation is the root of speech.'
