27.12

佛 (In Sanskrit, Buddha; translated here as 'Awakened One.' Here the syllable -dha is omitted, simply saying Fo. Possessing all-knowledge and knowledge of all aspects, he is able to awaken himself and also awaken all sentient beings, like waking from a dream, like a lotus blossoming; hence he is named Buddha. Because it contains many meanings, it is only briefly stated here).
