玉豪 [yu hao]—Yùháo — [Metaphor] Also written as Yùháo (玉毫 [yu hao]). It refers to the urna (白毫相 [bai hao xiang]) of the Buddha. The character 豪 [hao] (háo) is a phonetic loan character for 毫 [hao] (háo). Huilin's Sounds and Meanings, Volume 11 (慧琳音義十一 [hui lin yin yi shi yi]) states: "Yùháo is a phonetic loan character (假借字 [jia jie zi]); the correct form is 毫 [hao], which is derived from the radical 毛 [mao]. Yùháo (玉毫 [yu hao]) refers to the white hair between the eyebrows of the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]). It is brilliantly white and lustrous, like white jade (白玉 [bai yu]). From this urna mark, the Buddha emits great light, illuminating the worlds in the ten directions (十方界 [shi fang jie]); hence, it is called the auspicious jade-hair appearance (玉毫瑞色 [yu hao rui se])." Zhang Yue (張說 [zhang shuo]) states in his preface to the Records of the Western Regions (西域記 [xi yu ji]): "The jade-hair radiates light, and sweet dew (甘露 [gan lu]) sprinkles upon the great chiliocosm (大千 [da qian]). The golden mirror radiates brilliance, and a fragrant breeze extends to all that has boundaries."

玉豪—【譬喻】又作玉毫。佛之白毫相也。豪為毫之借字。慧琳音義十一曰:「玉豪,假借字也,正體從毛作毫。言玉毫者,如來眉間白毫毛也。皓白光潤,猶如白玉,佛從毫相,放大光明,照十方界,故云玉毫瑞色也。」西域記張說敘曰:「玉毫流照,甘露灑於大千。金鏡揚暉,薰風被於有截。」

[pì yù] yòu zuò yù háo. fú zhī bái háo xiāng yě. háo wèi háo zhī jiè zì. huì lín yīn yì shí yī yuē: “yù háo, jiǎ jiè zì yě, zhèng tǐ cóng máo zuò háo. yán yù háo zhě, rú lái méi jiān bái háo máo yě. hào bái guāng rùn, yóu rú bái yù, fú cóng háo xiāng, fàng dà guāng míng, zhào shí fāng jiè, gù yún yù háo ruì sè yě.” xī yù jì zhāng shuō xù yuē: “yù háo liú zhào, gān lù sǎ yú dà qiān. jīn jìng yáng huī, xūn fēng bèi yú yǒu jié.”
