1.44

"Bodhisattvas all possess manifold virtues": because they perfectly realize the real principle, they possess manifold virtues. Mañjuśrī, fully named Mañjuśrī, is translated here as Wondrous Virtue; because he perceives that the Buddha-nature of the three virtues is neither vertical nor horizontal, he is called Wondrous Virtue. The Great Sūtra says: "Clearly perceiving Buddha-nature is like Wondrous Virtue..." Maitreya is translated here as The Compassionate One; the three compassions of a single essence leave nothing unencompassed, hence it serves as his name.
