摩訶止觀 3.45

3.45

Although the names of these three calmings are not seen in the sūtras or treatises, they reflect the three contemplations, and their names are established according to their meanings. The Expository Treatise says: 'A bodhisattva, in accordance with the scriptures and teachings, devises names for them, which is called the gift of the Dharma.' Establishing names is without fault. If one can search the sūtras and find the names, they will covertly tally with this meaning. Examining these three calmings in comparison with the previous explanation of the names, their names are vaguely similar, but their characteristics are different.
