9.23

Aweisanfo (阿惟三佛). This expression is corrupt. Correctly spoken it is Apisanfo (abhisambuddha). Api (abhi-) here means 'manifest'; san (sam-) means 'equal'; fotuo (buddha) here means 'awakening'; it is named 'manifestly and completely awakened' (abhisambodhi). The Chang'an Pin scripture says 'becoming the Supreme Buddha'; the Dapin jing says 'all dharmas, all aspects'; they share the same meaning.
