阿彌陀經通贊疏 1.86

1.86

The Commentary says: Second is the listing of names. It is divided into two: first, the pair of the ten auspicious signs and the three assemblies; second, the pair of pitying beings and spurring exertion. This is the first. In Sanskrit, *Mañjuśrī*, which here is rendered as "Wondrous Auspiciousness" (Miaojixiang). At his birth, there were ten kinds of auspicious occurrences: first, radiant light filled the room; second, sweet dew filled the courtyard; third, the seven treasures welled up from the earth; fourth, spirits opened hidden treasures; fifth, hens hatched phoenix chicks; sixth, pigs gave birth to dragon piglets; seventh, mares birthed qilin; eighth, cows birthed white relays; ninth, granaries transformed into golden grain; tenth, elephants were complete with six tusks. Hence he is called Wondrous Auspiciousness. He is Northern Changxi World's Buddha Joy-Treasury Jewel-Accumulation (Huanxizang Moni Baoji), and hearing his name can eradicate sins such as the four grave offenses. It is also said that in the past he was the Buddha Dragon-Species Supremely Revered King. The *Avataṃsaka Sūtra* states that he resides here on the Cool Five-Peak Mountain (Mount Wutai) together with ten thousand bodhisattvas. As for "Dharma Prince," the *Buddhagūmi-śāstra* says: "Born from the oral true Dharma of the World-Honoured One, continuing the Buddha's lineage without interruption, he is therefore named Dharma Prince."
