大寶 [da bao]—Dà Bǎo — A term that refers to taking the Dharma (法 [fa]) as the great treasure. The Lotus Sutra (法華經 [fa hua jing]), Chapter on Faith and Understanding, says: "The Dharma King's (法王 [fa wang]) great treasure naturally arrives." It also refers to taking Bodhisattvas (菩薩 [pu sa]) as the great treasure. The Lotus Sutra, Chapter on Parables, says: "Why is it called 'Adorned with Great Treasures'? Because in that land, Bodhisattvas are taken as the great treasures." Furthermore, it is another name for a Homa altar (護摩壇 [hu mo tan]).
大寶—【術語】以法為大寶也。法華經信解品曰：「法王大寶自然而至。」又以菩薩為大寶也。法華經譬喻品曰：「何故名曰大寶莊嚴？其國中以菩薩為大寶故。」又護摩壇之異名。
