2. Explaining the bodhisattva's name: He is named Bhadraśīrṣa (Worthy Leader) to explain that upon attaining these ten kinds of faithful minds, one has faith that the Buddha's fruition virtues and the essence of one's own mind are one; skillfully understanding doubts and hindrances, openness and blockage, one enters the stage of the worthy, and is therefore named Bhadraśīrṣa. This is the zenith direction; the meaning explains that the mind, wisdom, and realm in this faith stage are all like empty space, containing everything without any obstruction. This is the virtue of a worthy person; hence he is named Bhadraśīrṣa. The world is named Equal-colored to explain that, since it is the zenith, the body and mind merge with emptiness; hence the world is named Equal-colored. The Buddha is named Contemplative Wisdom to explain that through the wisdom approach of one's own mind's emptiness, one is skillfully able to contemplate all dharmas as empty and devoid of any clinging; therefore he is named Contemplative Wisdom.
