觀彌勒上生兜率天經贊 1.32

1.32

贊曰：第三、教主也。佛陀梵音，此略云佛。有慧之主，唐言覺者。自覺覺他、覺行圓滿故稱為佛。如次不同凡夫、二乘、菩薩三種，故以為名也。《佛地論》云「具一切智、一切種智，能自開覺亦能開覺一切有情。如睡夢覺、如蓮花開，故名為佛。」即古所言無明惛睡覺。法相理中覺空智有智、理智事智、真智俗智、如所有智盡所有智之差別也。准依梵本，標薄伽梵，即第十號。以此一名總標眾德，由此外道皆稱本師名薄伽梵。此以翻譯之主意存省略，隨方生善，故稱佛名。

The eulogy says: The third is the master of the teaching. "Buddha" is a Sanskrit word, abbreviated here as fo. The master of wisdom, in the language of the Tang, is called "the Awakened One." Because he is self-awakened, awakens others, and is perfected in the practice of awakening, he is called "the Buddha." As he differs respectively from the three—ordinary beings, followers of the two vehicles, and bodhisattvas—he takes this as his name. The *Buddhagūmi-śāstra* says: "Possessing all-knowledge and knowledge of all modes, he can awaken himself and can also awaken all sentient beings. Just as one awakens from a sleeping dream, or as a lotus flower opens, he is therefore called 'the Buddha.'" This corresponds to what ancient masters called waking from the stuporous sleep of fundamental ignorance. Within the principles of the characteristics of dharmas, it is the differentiation of the wisdom of awakening to emptiness and the wisdom of knowing existence, the wisdom of principle and the wisdom of phenomena, the real wisdom and the conventional wisdom, and the wisdom of suchness and the wisdom of the full extent [of phenomena]. According to the Sanskrit text, it designates "Bhagavat," which is the tenth epithet. With this single name all virtues are collectively designated; hence even non-Buddhists all refer to their original teachers as Bhagavat. Here, because the chief translator intended brevity and wished to engender wholesome roots according to local customs, he used the name "Buddha."
