觀音義疏 1.21

1.21

四、稱名者，稱名有二：一、事，二、理。若用心存念，念念相續，餘心不間，故名一心；或可如《請觀音》中繫念數息，十息不亂名一念；或可無量息不雜異想，心想雖長，亦名一心；一心歸憑，更無二意，故名事一心也。稱名者，或可略稱如此文，或廣稱如下文。

Fourth, "reciting the name": reciting the name has two aspects: first, the phenomenal; second, the principle. If one uses the mind to maintain mindfulness, thought following thought in uninterrupted succession without other thoughts intervening, it is therefore called "single mind." Or, as in the *Qing Guanyin [jing]*, it may refer to binding mindfulness to count the breaths: ten breaths without distraction is called "one mindfulness." Or it may refer to immeasurable breaths unmixed with disparate thoughts: though the mental conception is protracted, it is also called "single mind." Turning to and relying upon [the bodhisattva] with a single mind, with no second intention whatsoever, is therefore called the phenomenal single mind. As for reciting the name, one may recite it in brief as in this text, or recite it extensively as in the text below.
