和合海 [he he hai]—(Héhéhǎi) — [Term] The monastic community (僧眾 [seng zhong]) is united and harmonious (和合 [he he]) as one taste, likened to the single taste of seawater (海水之一味 [hai shui zhi yi wei]). Furthermore, the monastic community (僧眾 [seng zhong]) is as vast and great as the deep and expansive ocean (海 [hai]), therefore it is compared to the ocean.
和合海—【術語】僧眾和合為一味，譬以海水之一味也。又，僧眾多大如海之深廣，故喻以海也。
