阿彌陀經疏 1.234

1.234

答：「《彌勒問經論》云：諸菩薩見法時即永離菩提障，謂身見等一切諸煩惱，出過二乘地證得深心故名不退，以證勝法成就施等行故名不退轉，即生自在。」阿耨多羅此云無上，三藐言正遍，三菩提言知覺，謂無上正遍知覺。又無上者謂法身菩提，正謂如理智，遍謂如量智。又正謂無分別根本智，覺謂無分別後得智，謂由諸佛護念故，於求無上果智之心遂得不退轉也。

Answer: 'The Maitreyaparipṛcchā-śāstra states: When bodhisattvas see the Dharma, they forever abandon the hindrances to bodhi, namely all afflictions such as the view of an enduring self; transcending the stages of the two vehicles and realizing the profound mind, they are called "non-retreating" (bu tui); because they realize the superior Dharma and accomplish practices such as giving, they are called "non-turning back" (bu zhuan)—that is, they gain mastery over birth.' Anuttarā is translated here as "unsurpassed"; samyak means "right and universal"; saṃbodhi means "knowledge and awakening"; together they mean unsurpassed right universal knowledge and awakening. Furthermore, "unsurpassed" refers to the bodhi of the dharmakāya; "right" refers to cognition of reality as it is; "universal" refers to cognition of phenomena in their full extent. Moreover, "right" refers to the non-conceptual fundamental cognition; "awakening" refers to the non-conceptual subsequently attained cognition. This means that, due to the mindful protection of all the buddhas, one's aspiration seeking the unsurpassed fruit and cognition consequently attains non-retrogression.
