觀音玄義 1.2

1.2

夫法界圓融，像無所像；真如清淨，化無所化。雖像無所像，無所而不像；化無所化，無所而不化。故無在、無不在，化應九道之身，處有不永寂，入不二之旨，是以三業致請蒙脫苦涯，四弘為誓使霑上樂，故娑婆世界受無畏之名，寶藏佛所稟觀音之目，已成種覺，號正法明，次當補處，稱為普光功德。其本迹若此，寧可測知？方便隨緣，趣舉一名耳。

Now, the dharma-dhātu is perfectly interfused, where images have no image; tathatā is pure, where transformation has no transformation. Although images have no image, there is nowhere that is not imaged; although transformation has no transformation, there is nowhere that is not transformed. Therefore, being nowhere present yet nowhere absent, he manifests responsive bodies across the nine paths, abides in existence without perpetual quiescence, and enters into the purport of non-duality. For this reason, by appealing through the three karmas, beings are blessed with release from the shores of suffering; through the four great vows, they are caused to partake of supreme bliss. Hence, in the Sahā world he receives the name of "Bestower of Fearlessness"; in the presence of the Buddha Ratnagarbha he received the title "Avalokiteśvara"; having already attained the seed-awareness, he is named "Saddharmaprabhāsa"; and being next in succession, he is called "Samantaprabhāsapuṇya." Such are his origin and traces—how could they ever be fathomed? Merely as an upāya in accord with conditions, a single name is provisionally raised.
