7.25

From "How..." onward concludes by forming the doubt. "Sentient beings enjoy": Based on the Buddha's lifespan, it should have completed a full hundred years; when reaching eighty, he entered nirvāṇa, intending to leave twenty years of merit for later disciples to enjoy. Furthermore, making offerings and rendering service to the Buddha enables sentient beings to obtain immeasurable merit; this also means that sentient beings enjoy the Buddha's merit.
