大方廣圓覺修多羅了義經略疏 1.182

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.182](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.1.182)

或唯覺之一字是法，餘四皆義。意言：此覺有廣大義、有方圓義，謂體大而用廣，理方而義圓。方是正直不偏不邪，圓是滿足無虧無缺。亦可大方是體、廣圓是用，謂體大而方正不偏，用廣而圓滿無缺。故復以方連大，以圓連廣。

> Alternatively, the single character "Enlightenment" alone is the Dharma, and the remaining four are its meaning. The intent is: this enlightenment has the meanings of broad and great, and the meanings of upright and perfect—namely, its essence is great while its function is broad; its principle is upright and its meaning is perfect. "Upright" (fang) means correct and straight, neither leaning nor deviant; "perfect" (yuan) means fully complete, without deficiency or lack. It may also be said that "great and upright" is essence, while "broad and perfect" is function; that is, the essence is great and upright without deviation, while the function is broad and perfect without lack. Hence "upright" is again linked with "great," and "perfect" is linked with "broad."
