Definition[3]

(一)指稱心如意。
(二)指說法及法會之際,講師所持之器具。此物原為印度古時之爪杖,梵語為 anuruddha(阿那律),係由骨、角、竹、木等所製,柄長三尺,形狀如雲,或如手形,乃搔背止癢所用,以其能補手不能到之處,而搔抓如意,故稱為如意,又稱癢和子。然在我國及日本,又成為一般之持物,表示吉祥之意。在佛教中,法師於說法及法會時,亦持用之,猶如官吏之笏,用以備忘。據釋氏要覽卷中如意條所載,齊高祖嘗賜予隱士明僧紹一支竹製之如意,梁武帝亦曾賜昭明太子一支木犀如意。另據佛祖統紀卷六智顗傳載,智顗受慧思之命,代為講說般若時,慧思手中持一如意臨席稱讚之。〔優婆塞戒經卷五、四分律卷十九僧尼日用物、禪林象器箋第二十八類器物門〕
