佛種 [fu zhong]—Buddha Seed — [Term (術語 [shu yu])] The seed (生佛果之種子 [sheng fu guo zhi zhong zi]) that produces the fruit of Buddhahood. The practices of a Bodhisattva (菩薩之所行 [pu sa zhi suo xing]) are called Buddha seeds. The Old Avatamsaka Sutra (舊華嚴經 [jiu hua yan jing]) Vol. 32 states: "Plant the Buddha seeds (下子於眾生田 [xia zi yu zhong sheng tian]) in the field of sentient beings, and sprout the shoots of enlightenment (生正覺芽 [sheng zheng jue ya])." The Lotus Sutra (法華經 [fa hua jing]), Chapter on Expedient Means (方便品 [fang bian pin]), says: "Buddha seeds (從緣生 [cong yuan sheng]) arise from conditions, therefore, the One Vehicle is taught (是故說一乘 [shi gu shuo yi cheng])." The Tanxuan Ji (探玄記 [tan xuan ji]) Vol. 11 states: "The practices of a Bodhisattva (菩薩所行 [pu sa suo xing]) are called Buddha seeds." The Vimalakirti Sutra (維摩經 [wei mo jing]), Chapter on the Buddha Path (佛道品 [fu dao pin]), says: "In short, the sixty-two views (六十二見 [liu shi er jian]) and all afflictions (一切煩惱 [yi qie fan nao]) are all Buddha seeds (皆是 [jie shi])." Its commentary states: "Zhao (肇曰 [zhao yue]) said: Sentient beings mired in defilements (塵勞眾生 [chen lao zhong sheng]) immediately attain the Buddha Path (即成佛道 [ji cheng fu dao]); there are no other people who attain Buddhahood (更無異人之成佛 [geng wu yi ren zhi cheng fu]). Therefore, these are Buddha seeds."
佛種—【術語】生佛果之種子也。菩薩之所行名佛種。舊華嚴經三十二曰：「下佛種子於眾生田，生正覺芽。」法華經方便品曰：「佛種從緣生，是故說一乘。」探玄記十一曰：「菩薩所行名為佛種。」維摩經佛道品曰：「以要言之，六十二見及一切煩惱皆是佛種。」同註：「肇曰：塵勞眾生即成佛道，更無異人之成佛，故是佛種也。」

鳧鐘 [fu zhong]—Fú zhōng — [Alternative Name] The Rites of Zhou (周禮 [zhou li]) states: "The Fú clan (鳧氏 [fu shi]) cast bells." The Artificers' Record (考工記 [kao gong ji]) states: "The Fú clan made bells. The fú (duck/waterfowl) enters water without drowning, and this was used to name the bell craftsman, deriving from the meaning of its buoyancy and hollowness (浮虛 [fu xu])."
