觀音義疏 2.59

2.59

次明應以菩薩得度者，或上地、下地，三藏通別圓等，輔佛不同。若佛於實報作佛，觀音即為實報菩薩形；或作方便土菩薩形、或作同居土菩薩形，赴利、鈍兩緣。赴利緣者，即如《華嚴》中法慧、金剛藏等；赴鈍緣者，或如彌勒等。若佛轉五味法門，法門興廢，輔佛菩薩亦節節興廢，若權、若實，廣利眾生，此中亦應明別圓本觀機應。

Next, explaining being delivered by a bodhisattva: whether of higher stages or lower stages, or belonging to the Tripiṭaka, Shared, Separate, or Perfect teachings, their assisting the Buddha differs. If the Buddha acts as a Buddha in the true reward [land], Avalokiteśvara takes the form of a bodhisattva of the true reward [land]; or takes the form of a bodhisattva of the expedient land; or takes the form of a bodhisattva of the co-dwelling land, responding to both sharp and dull conditions. Responding to sharp conditions is like Dharmamati, Vajragarbha, and others in the Huayan jing; responding to dull conditions is like Maitreya and others. If the Buddha turns the dharma gates of the five flavors, with the flourishing and declining of these dharma gates, the bodhisattvas assisting the Buddha also flourish and decline step by step; whether provisional or real, they broadly benefit sentient beings. Here also one should explain the capacity and response of the fundamental contemplation of the Separate and Perfect teachings.
