注維摩詰經 9.84

9.84

[Kumāra]jīva says: *Tathāgata*, in the language of Qin, is 'thus-come' and also 'thus-gone'. Knowing in accordance with the Dharma and speaking in accordance with the Dharma, he is called 'thus'. The various Buddhas come by the peaceful path, and this Buddha also comes in this way; those Buddhas depart peacefully, and this Buddha also departs in this way. *Buddha*, in the language of Qin, is 'awakened'. Generally, attaining the Way is called 'awakening'. There are two kinds of awakening: first, awakening to the four truths; second, awakening to all dharmas. If one awakens without exhausting everything, it is not true awakening, and so does not deserve the name 'awakened'. For instance, when the Buddha questioned Śāriputra, he did not answer across three questions; when the heavenly maiden questioned him, he remained silent without a word; this shows he had not yet escaped from slumber. The expressions 'universal', 'thus', and 'awakened'—these three designations are epithets of the ultimate substance, sufficient to clarify that the various Buddhas are equal and distinct from the two vehicles. [Seng]zhao says: In the language of Qin, this is 'awakened'. In the long slumber of saṃsāra, none can awaken themselves. He who awakens himself and awakens others is none other than the Buddha. These three phrases are indeed epithets of the ultimate substance. If there were the slightest inequality in the Buddha's works as described above, they would not suffice to be called possessing the three titles in full. [Dao]sheng says: Awakening from within the sleep of defilements, he thereby attains a mind merged with Suchness.
