有手 [you shou]—Yǒushǒu — Miscellaneous Name (雜名 [za ming]) Hastin, an alternative name (別名 [bie ming]) for elephant (象 [xiang]).
The Bǎi Lùn Shū (百論疏 [bai lun shu]) [Commentary on the Hundred Treatises], Volume 1, Part 2, states: "An elephant (象 [xiang]) has seven limbs, and because its 'hand' (手 [shou], referring to its trunk) is preeminent, it is named Yǒushǒu after this superior feature. Therefore, people in other countries refer to the elephant (象 [xiang]) as Yǒushǒu. The Póshā (婆沙 [po sha]) [Vibhāṣā] states: "Buddhist scriptures say that faith (信 [xin]) is the elephant's hand (象手 [xiang shou]), just as an elephant's hand (象手 [xiang shou]) can grasp things that are counted as sentient beings (眾生數 [zhong sheng shu]) and things that are not counted as sentient beings (非眾生數物 [fei zhong sheng shu wu]). Faith (信 [xin]) can grasp wholesome dharmas (善法 [shan fa]). Therefore, it is known that among foreigners, both monastics (道 [dao]) and laity (俗 [su]) commonly refer to the elephant (象 [xiang]) as Yǒushǒu."
有手—【雜名】Hastin，象之別名。百論疏上之下曰：「象有七肢，以手勝故，從勝受名為有手。故外國人，呼象以為有手。婆沙云：佛經說信是象手，如象手能取眾生數非眾生數物。信能取善法，故知外國道俗，通名象為有手。」
[zá míng]Hastin, xiàng zhī bié míng. bǎi lùn shū shàng zhī xià yuē: “xiàng yǒu qī zhī, yǐ shǒu shèng gù, cóng shèng shòu míng wèi yǒu shǒu. gù wài guó rén, hū xiàng yǐ wèi yǒu shǒu. pó shā yún: fú jīng shuō xìn shì xiàng shǒu, rú xiàng shǒu néng qǔ zhòng shēng shù fēi zhòng shēng shù wù. xìn néng qǔ shàn fǎ, gù zhī wài guó dào sú, tōng míng xiàng wèi yǒu shǒu.”
[za ming]Hastin, xiang zhi bie ming. bai lun shu shang zhi xia yue: "xiang you qi zhi, yi shou sheng gu, cong sheng shou ming wei you shou. gu wai guo ren, hu xiang yi wei you shou. po sha yun: fu jing shuo xin shi xiang shou, ru xiang shou neng qu zhong sheng shu fei zhong sheng shu wu. xin neng qu shan fa, gu zhi wai guo dao su, tong ming xiang wei you shou."

右手 [you shou]—Right Hand — [Term] The right hand is associated with wisdom (智慧 [zhi hui]).
The Commentary on the Mahavairocana Sutra, Volume 3, states: "The left hand represents samādhi (三昧 [san mei]), the right hand represents prajñā (般若 [ban ruo]), and the ten fingers represent the fulfillment of the ten Pāramitās (波羅蜜 [bo luo mi])."
The Mizōki-hon (Secret Treasury Record, Main Text) states: "The right hand discriminates all things, hence it is called wisdom, and it is the Vajradhātu (金剛界 [jin gang jie]). The five fingers of the right hand represent the Five Wisdoms (五智 [wu zhi]) of the Vajradhātu."
右手—【術語】以右手配於智慧。大日經疏三曰：「左手是三昧義，右手是般若義，十指是十波羅蜜滿足義。」秘藏記本曰：「右手辨一切事，故名智，金剛界也。右手五指，金剛界五智。」
[shù yǔ] yǐ yòu shǒu pèi yú zhì huì. dà rì jīng shū sān yuē: “zuǒ shǒu shì sān mèi yì, yòu shǒu shì bān ruò yì, shí zhǐ shì shí bō luó mì mǎn zú yì.” mì cáng jì běn yuē: “yòu shǒu biàn yī qiè shì, gù míng zhì, jīn gāng jiè yě. yòu shǒu wǔ zhǐ, jīn gāng jiè wǔ zhì.”
[shu yu] yi you shou pei yu zhi hui. da ri jing shu san yue: "zuo shou shi san mei yi, you shou shi ban ruo yi, shi zhi shi shi bo luo mi man zu yi." mi cang ji ben yue: "you shou bian yi qie shi, gu ming zhi, jin gang jie ye. you shou wu zhi, jin gang jie wu zhi."
憂受 t = 忧受 s = yōu shòu p refers to [phrase] “the sensation of sorrow”; Domain: Buddhism 佛教 [fu jiao]; Notes: One of the 五受 [wu shou] 'five sensations' (Ding '憂受 [you shou]'; FGDB '五受 [wu shou]'; SH '憂受 [you shou]', p. 433) .
Chinese Buddhism (漢傳佛教, hanchuan fojiao) is the form of Buddhism that developed in China, blending Mahayana teachings with Daoist and Confucian thought. Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan. Chinese Buddhism has greatly influenced East Asian religion and culture.
