觀音義疏 1.20

1.20

Third, "hearing the name": the preceding explained encountering suffering, and next explains generating goodness. Good and evil together constitute the capacity [for response]. This text clearly indicates that hearing has four meanings, as [explained] in a separate record. If one can thus penetrate the four meanings of hearing, this is the wisdom of hearing; the mind being without reliance, without abiding, and without clinging is the wisdom of contemplation; single-mindedly reciting the name is the wisdom of cultivation. Although this passage is brief, the meaning of the three wisdoms is clearly displayed.
