2.63

經「十六人」者，即賢首之同類也。經「彌勒」，云慈氏，無緣大慈攝諸法故。然諸菩薩俱具諸德，引物歸心各彰一號。能如是解，乃於自心見諸菩薩。《淨名》云「諸佛解脫，當於眾生心行中求。」斯之謂也。

The sūtra says "sixteen persons": these are the peers of the Worthy Head. The sūtra says "Maitreya," which means the Compassionate One, because unconditioned great compassion gathers in all dharmas. However, all the bodhisattvas fully possess all virtues; in order to guide beings to return their minds, each displays a distinct name. Being able to understand in this way, one then sees the various bodhisattvas within one's own mind. The Vimalakīrti says: "The liberation of all Buddhas should be sought in the mental actions of sentient beings." This is precisely what it means.
