注維摩詰經 10.26

10.26

肇曰：善其護持之意也。三世菩提不思議道，皆陳在此經，若受持護養則為供養三世諸佛，故助汝喜。生曰：夫以衣食供養者，存其四體而長之也。若受持讀誦此經，既全其理，又使日增於佛法身，不亦有供養義乎。

[Seng]zhao says: He approves of his intention to protect and uphold it. The inconceivable path of bodhi of the three times is fully set forth in this sūtra; if one receives, upholds, protects, and nurtures it, one is making offerings to the buddhas of the three times, and therefore [the Buddha says,] 'I rejoice in your joy.' [Dao]sheng says: Offerings made with food and clothing preserve the four limbs and sustain them. If one receives, upholds, reads, and recites this sūtra, one not only preserves its principle intact, but also causes the Buddha's dharmakāya to increase daily; does this not also carry the meaning of making offerings?
