行雨 [xing yu]—Xíngyǔ — [Personal Name] The name of a great minister of King Bimbisara (頻婆沙羅王 [pin po sha luo wang]). The Nirvana Sutra (涅槃經 [nie pan jing]) refers to him as Yǔxíng, while the Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya (有部毘奈耶 [you bu pi nai ye]) calls him Xíngyǔ.

Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya, Fascicle 45, states: "The king of Rājagṛha (王舍城 [wang she cheng]) in the country of Magadha (摩竭陀國 [mo jie tuo guo]) was named Yǐngshèng (影勝 [ying sheng]). He governed the people according to the Dharma, and the country was free from calamities, as extensively described elsewhere. His consort was named Shèngshēn, whose appearance was exceptionally beautiful, unmatched in the country. The King's Crown Prince was named Ajātaśatru (未生怨 [wei sheng yuan]). There was a great minister named Xíngyǔ, who was of the great Brahmin lineage, a noble and distinguished aristocrat."

行雨—【人名】頻婆沙羅王大臣名。涅槃經謂之雨行。有部毘奈耶謂之行雨。有部毘奈耶四十五曰：「摩竭陀國王舍城王，名曰影勝。以法理人，國無災患，如餘廣說。夫人名勝身，儀貌超絕，國內無比。王之太子，名未生怨。有一大臣，名曰行雨，是大婆羅門種，高勝貴族。」

性欲 [xing yu]—Nature and Desire — [Term] (术语 [shu yu]) "Xing" (性 [xing]) refers to past habits (习性 [xi xing]), and "yu" (欲 [yu]) refers to present desires for pleasure (乐欲 [le yu]).

The Immeasurable Meanings Sutra (无量义经 [wu liang yi jing]) states: "Knowing that the nature and desires of all sentient beings differ, and because their nature and desires differ, various teachings are expounded."

The Chapter on Expedient Means (方便品 [fang bian pin]) of the Lotus Sutra states: "With the power of my wisdom, I know the nature and desires of sentient beings, and expediently expound various dharmas."

Commentary on the Mahavairocana Sutra (大日经疏 [da ri jing shu]) Vol. 1 states: "Regarding nature and desire, 'yu' refers to faith, joy, liking, and pleasure (信喜好乐 [xin xi hao le]). For example, Sundarananda (孙陀罗难陀 [sun tuo luo nan tuo]) was fond of the five desires, Devadatta (提婆达多 [ti po da duo]) was fond of fame, and even those who have attained the Way (得道人 [de dao ren]) each have their own preferences. 'Xing' refers to accumulated habits (积习 [ji xi]), where the habit of desire forms one's nature."

性欲—【術語】過去之習性云性，現在之樂欲云欲。無量義經曰：「知諸眾生性欲不同，性欲不同，種種說法。」法華經方便品曰：「我以智慧力，知眾生性欲，方便說諸法。」大日經疏一曰：「性欲者，欲名信喜好樂。如孫陀羅難陀好五欲，提婆達多好名聞，乃至諸得道人亦各有所好。性名積習，習欲為性。」

[shù yǔ] guò qù zhī xí xìng yún xìng, xiàn zài zhī lè yù yún yù. wú liàng yì jīng yuē: “zhī zhū zhòng shēng xìng yù bù tóng, xìng yù bù tóng, zhǒng zhǒng shuō fǎ.” fǎ huá jīng fāng biàn pǐn yuē: “wǒ yǐ zhì huì lì, zhī zhòng shēng xìng yù, fāng biàn shuō zhū fǎ.” dà rì jīng shū yī yuē: “xìng yù zhě, yù míng xìn xǐ hǎo lè. rú sūn tuó luó nán tuó hǎo wǔ yù, tí pó dá duō hǎo míng wén, nǎi zhì zhū dé dào rén yì gè yǒu suǒ hǎo. xìng míng jī xí, xí yù wèi xìng.”
