Definition[1]

The ocean symbol, i.e. as the face of the sea reflects all forms, so the samādhi of a bodhisattva reflects to him all truths; it is also termed 海印三昧.

Definition[2]

(譬喻)大海之水面印現森羅萬像。以譬菩薩之三昧含藏一切諸法,是名海印三昧。大集經十五曰:「喻如閻浮提一切眾生身及餘外色,如是等色道中皆有印像,以是故名大海印。菩薩亦復如是,得大海印三昧已能分別一切眾生心行,於一切法門皆得慧明,是為菩薩得海印三昧。」
