山海慧自在 [py] Shan1hai3hui4 zi4zai4 [wg] Shan-hai-hui tzu-tsai [ko] Sanhaehyejajae [ja] サンカイエジザイ Sankaiejizai ||| The name by which Aananda is to be called when he attains buddhahood. Also abbreviated as 山海如来. In the 人記 chapter of the Lotus Sutra it says: "佛告, 阿難, 汝於來世當作佛. 號山海慧自在通王如来" (T vol. 9 #262, p. 29b-c). Also see Leon Hurvitz: Scripture of the Lotus Blossom of the Fine Dharma, p. 168. Here Raahula and Aananda somewhat selfishly and vainly nag the Buddha to give predictions for them, since he has given predictions of Buddhahood for the others present at the assembly.
