無為舍 [wu wei she]—(Wúwéi Shě) — [Term] 無為 [wu wei] (Wúwéi) refers to Nirvana (涅槃 [nie pan]). Nirvana (涅槃 [nie pan]) is a peaceful dwelling (安宅 [an zhai]) for humans, hence it is called a 'dwelling' or 'house' (舍 [she]). The Thousand-Armed Sutra (千手經 [qian shou jing]) states: "Homage to Avalokiteshvara (觀世音 [guan shi yin]) of Great Compassion (大悲 [da bei]), may I swiftly meet the (Wúwéi Shě)."
無為舍—【術語】無為者，涅槃也，涅槃為人之安宅，故云舍。千手經曰：「南無大悲觀世音，願我速會無為舍。」
