首楞嚴義疏注經 1.83

1.83

具云菩提薩埵，此云覺有情。此有三釋：一、菩提所求果，薩埵所度生；二、菩提所求果，薩埵能求人；三、菩提覺悟智，薩埵情慮識。總約悲智、能所、真妄以立名也。此等安居非止一處，故云十方。限內修行莫盡通達，從師指授，夏滿方遂，故云諮決心疑。恭敬遵承，故曰欽奉。恩念威重，故曰慈嚴。將求密義者，意請宣說如來密因修證了義之法門也。

Fully called bodhisattva, translated here as "enlightened sentient being." There are three explanations: 1. Bodhi is the fruit sought, sattva refers to the beings saved; 2. Bodhi is the fruit sought, sattva is the person able to seek; 3. Bodhi is the awakening wisdom, sattva is the thinking and conscious mind. Generally speaking, the name is established in terms of compassion and wisdom, subject and object, real and illusory. These persons spent the retreat not in just one place, hence it says "the ten directions." Their practice within the restricted period could not be completely thorough; receiving direct instruction from the master, only with the summer retreat completed did they accomplish it; hence it says "consulted to resolve their doubts of mind." Reverently obeying and receiving, it is called "respectfully obeying." Because his loving thoughts were majestic and weighty, he is called "compassionate majesty." "About to seek the secret meaning" means their intention was to request the expounding of the Dharma gate of the Tathāgata's secret cause and the definitive meaning of practice and realization.
