'Zhizhe' is the person who expounded it. Formerly, when Emperor Yang of the Sui was the Prince of Jin, having received the bodhisattva precepts from the Great Master, he established a title for the master on the basis of the Bodhisattvabhūmi Sūtra, titling him 'Zhizhe' (the Wise One). 'Great Master' (dashi): 'great' is a term of praise, and 'master' is the designation for one who instructs people in the Way. In ancient times, when someone's understanding and conduct could serve as a model for others, people invariably addressed them as Great Master. Down to the reign of Emperor Yizong of the Tang, official appointments \[of the title\] were instituted, and ever since, even if one possessed the reality, none dared to be addressed as such. 'Expounded' means speaking with unrestrained eloquence, not taking up the brush to compose a work. Since this text was recorded by the disciple Zhang'an, his taboo personal name was not written, and his laudatory title was recorded instead. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1.5) - [Next: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1.7) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801~en-mt.1.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.1.6) · Pramāṇa
