3.43

「『諸佛正遍知海從心想生。』」正遍知者,十號之一也。出世法無不究盡、深廣無際,故喻如海。佛德無邊,略舉遍知以攝餘者。果人萬德皆心想生,意勉下凡專勤修習,功不虛矣。四、結勸修因須依果德。

" 'The ocean of all Buddhas' true and universal knowledge is born from mental contemplation.'" "True and universal knowledge" (samyak-saṃbuddha) is one of the ten epithets. There is no supramundane dharma that it does not exhaust; it is profound and vast without limit, and hence is compared to an ocean. The Buddha's virtues are boundless; he briefly cites universal knowledge to subsume the rest. All the myriad virtues of the person of fruition are born from mental contemplation; the intent is to encourage ordinary mortals below to cultivate and practice with single-minded diligence, so that their efforts will not be in vain. Fourth, concluding with an exhortation that cultivating the cause must rely on the fruition virtues.
