注維摩詰經 1.26

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.26)

肇曰：菩薩，正音云菩提薩埵。菩提，佛道名也。薩埵，秦言大心眾生。有大心、入佛道，名菩提薩埵。無正名譯也。別本云「菩薩三萬二千得大神通」，什曰：大士凡有三種，一者出家、二者在家、三者他方來。復次，一者結業身、二者法身。此中菩薩多是法身，然應感之形與物同迹，物或齊其所見而生劣想，故舉大數然後序德也。梵本云「神通智慧本事已作」，六度諸法即通慧之因，通慧之因即本事也。

> \[Seng\]zhao says: Bodhisattva, the correct phonetic transcription is bodhisattva. Bodhi is the name for the Buddha's path. Sattva, in the language of Qin means a sentient being of great mind. Having a great mind and entering the Buddha's path, one is named bodhisattva; there is no exact term to translate it.  
> Another edition says 'thirty-two thousand bodhisattvas who had attained great spiritual superknowledges'. \[Kumāra\]jīva says: Mahāsattvas are generally of three kinds: first, renunciants; second, householders; third, those who came from other directions. Furthermore, first, those with karmic bodies; second, those with dharmakāyas. The bodhisattvas here mostly have dharmakāyas; yet their responsive forms share traces with worldly beings, and beings might judge by what they see and produce thoughts of inferiority; therefore, the great number is cited before describing their virtues. The Sanskrit text says 'their previous practices of spiritual superknowledges and wisdom had already been accomplished'; the various dharmas of the six pāramitās are the causes of superknowledge and wisdom, and the causes of superknowledge and wisdom are precisely previous practices.
