言佛菩薩之大聖權。化現異形也。法華玄義六曰：「摩耶是千佛之母，淨飯是千佛之父，羅睺羅千佛之子。諸聲聞等悉內秘外現，示眾有三毒實自淨佛土，諸親族等皆是大權法身上地，豈有凡夫能懷那羅延菩薩耶？」
The great potentiality; or the great power of Buddhas and bodhisattvas to transform themselves into others, by which e.g. Māyā becomes the mother of 1,000 Buddhas, Rāhula the son of 1,000 Buddhas, and all beings are within the potency of the dharmakāya.

一大權 (一)指佛、菩薩等大聖為濟度眾生而顯現種種異形。觀無量壽經正觀記謂韋提希夫人及阿闍世王悉為大權之示跡。 (二)大權修理菩薩，略稱大權菩薩。為禪家之護法神，祀於浙江定海縣東之招寶山（阿育王山），該山聳峙海濱，船舶、寶貨常集其下。大權菩薩像著帝王之服，左手覆於膝上，右手加額，呈遠眺之姿，以示護航、招寶之意，故又稱招寶七郎。（參閱「大權修理菩薩」1217）p1217
