脅士 [xie shi]—(xié shì) — [Terminology] Also written as 脅侍 [xie shi] (xié shì) or 挾侍 [xie shi] (jiá shì), referring to the Bodhisattvas standing on both sides of the Buddha. The character 士 [shi] (shì) here refers to 大士 [da shi] (dà shì) (Mahasattva), which is a translation of 菩薩 [pu sa] (pú sà) (Bodhisattva), specifically referring to Mahasattvas who constantly serve the Buddha, praise the Buddha, and transform sentient beings. Guanyin (觀音 [guan yin]) and Mahasthamaprapta (勢至 [shi zhi]) are the attendant Bodhisattvas of Amitabha Buddha (阿彌陀佛 [a mi tuo fu]) (Contemplation Sutra - 觀經 [guan jing]). Suryaprabha (日光 [ri guang]) and Candraprabha (月光 [yue guang]) are the attendant Bodhisattvas of Bhaisajyaguru Buddha (藥師佛 [yao shi fu]) (Medicine Buddha Sutra - 藥師經 [yao shi jing]). Manjushri (文殊 [wen shu]) and Samantabhadra (普賢 [pu xian]) are the attendant Bodhisattvas of Shakyamuni Buddha (釋迦佛 [shi jia fu]) (Avatamsaka Sutra - 華嚴經 [hua yan jing]). In Hinayana (小乘 [xiao cheng]) traditions, Mahakasyapa (大迦葉 [da jia ye]) and Ananda (阿難 [a nan]) serve as the attendant Bodhisattvas.
脅士—【術語】又作脅侍，挾侍，立於佛兩脅之菩薩也。士為大士，菩薩之譯名，常侍佛贊佛化眾生之大士也。觀音勢至為阿彌陀佛之脅士（觀經），日光月光為藥師佛之脅士（藥師經），文殊普賢為釋迦佛之脅士（華嚴經），若在小乘，則以大迦葉阿難為脅士。
