大方便佛報恩經 6.24

6.24

Answer: "It is said: 'The devas told Ānanda.' It is also said: 'The Buddha entered a worldly mind and caused Ānanda to know it.' It is also said: 'He heard it from the side of the bhikṣus.' It is also said: 'Ānanda requested a boon from the Buddha: "May the Buddha not give me his old robes; may he not cause people to invite me for meals. Because I seek the Dharma and revere the Buddha, I attend to what the Buddha requires, not for clothing and food. The bhikṣus get to see the World-Honoured One at the two times of morning and evening; do not let it be so for me—whenever I wish to see him, let me see him. Furthermore, as for the Dharma the Buddha taught during the twenty years, teach it all to me."'"
