阿彌陀經疏 1.158

1.158

答：「彼有段食，然竟不食，見色聞香意以為食，自然飽足無所味著，事訖化去，時至自來。故《無量壽經》云：彼欲食時，七寶鉢器自然在前，百味飲食湛然盈滿。」

Answer: "They have solid nutriment, yet they never actually eat it; seeing the forms and smelling the aromas, their minds take it as food, and they are spontaneously sated and satisfied without tasting or attachment; when the matter is finished, it disappears by transformation, and when the time arrives, it comes spontaneously. Therefore, the *Sūtra of Immeasurable Life* states: when they wish to eat, seven-jeweled begging bowls spontaneously appear before them, calmly overflowing with foods of a hundred flavors."
