觀音義疏 1.28

1.28

Second, the specific reply has three parts: first, the resonance of the oral capacity; second, the resonance of the mental capacity; third, the resonance of the physical capacity. Regarding the oral capacity, there are two parts: first, explaining the seven disasters; next, concluding the oral capacity. Someone says: "As for the sequence of the three capacities, the oral is manifest and placed first; sound is produced through intention; and mental consciousness produces the body." Speaking generally, the oral capacity also frees one from three kinds of suffering: it merely removes the suffering of the result first, next removes the cause of suffering, and next fulfills vows to bestow joy.
