3.27

The passage beginning "Baoyun..." clarifies the decorum of the meal. Among these four portions, the first two say "designated for," while the latter two do not say so, because if those living pure lives, the poor, or the sick come, one gives it to them, and if they do not come, one eats it oneself; the latter two are not like this, hence it is not said. The Twelve Dhūtas Sūtra excludes those living pure lives, because since they beg for themselves, one does not divide it with them.
