正士 [zheng shi]—(zhèng shì) — [術語 [shu yu] (shù yǔ)] In Sanskrit, it is called Bodhisattva (菩薩 [pu sa]). One translation is 'Righteous Being'. It refers to a great being who seeks the right path. The Sutra of Immeasurable Life (無量壽經 [wu liang shou jing]) states: "Sixteen Righteous Beings." In the same sutra, further down, it states: "Righteous Beings coming from the ten directions (十方 [shi fang])."
正士—【術語】梵語曰菩薩。一譯正士。求正道之大士也。無量壽經上曰：「十六正士。」同下曰：「十方來正士。」

正使 [zheng shi]—Principal Afflictions — [Term] A designation used in relation to habit-energy (習氣 [xi qi]). The actual substance of defilements (煩惱 [fan nao]) that are currently arising is called Principal Afflictions. The remaining habit-energy or residue of those defilements is called habit-energy. Although Arhats (阿羅漢 [a luo han]) have severed their Principal Afflictions, their habit-energy cannot be eradicated. The verse from the Profound Meaning of the Contemplation Sutra states: "Are the Principal Afflictions exhausted or not? Is the habit-energy gone or not?" The Fourfold Teachings states: "Merely severing Principal Afflictions cannot eliminate habit-energy."
正使—【術語】對於習氣之稱。正現起之煩惱正體曰正使。其煩惱之餘習曰習氣。阿羅漢雖斷正使，而習氣不能亡也。觀經玄義分偈曰：「正使盡未盡，習氣亡未亡。」四教儀曰：「但斷正使不能侵習。」
