- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.1.8)

佛十義者，一大者法身，佛以法為身，佛身充滿於法界故。二方者智身，智如法故。三廣者，具於二身：一者化身，一身普周為無量故；二者意生身，一多隨意無不周故。佛者含五六身：一菩提身，覺樹道成故；二者威勢身，初成正覺映菩薩故。華者含七八身：七福德身，三世所行眾福，大海因不可盡故；八者願身，毘盧願因周法界故。嚴者第九相好莊嚴身，十蓮華藏相好嚴故。經者第十力持身，舍利圓音聲教無盡故。則經七字皆成佛也。

> Regarding the ten meanings of "Buddha": First, "great" is the dharmakāya, because the Buddha takes the Dharma as body, and the Buddha's body completely fills the dharmadhātu. Second, "broad" is the wisdom body, because wisdom is like the Dharma. Third, "expansive" possesses two bodies: first, the transformation body, because a single body universally extends as immeasurable; second, the mind-made body, because the one and the many follow the mind and there is nothing not pervaded. "Buddha" contains the fifth and sixth bodies: first, the bodhi body, because the path is accomplished at the tree of awakening; second, the body of formidable power, because when initially accomplishing correct awakening, it outshines the bodhisattvas. "Flower" contains the seventh and eighth bodies: seventh, the body of blessed virtues, because the ocean of cause of the myriad merits practiced across the three times cannot be exhausted; eighth, the vow body, because Vairocana's causal vows pervade the dharmadhātu. "Adornment" is the ninth, the body adorned with marks and signs, because the marks and signs of the ten lotus treasuries adorn it. "Sūtra" is the tenth, the body of sustaining power, because relics and the complete voice of oral teachings are inexhaustible. Thus, the seven characters of the sūtra all constitute the Buddha.
