注維摩詰經 10.28

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [10.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.10.28)

肇曰：供養之福以方慧解般若，諸經類有成挍。生曰：衣食供養，本以施功致福，非求理之法，據此正可生人天之中，終不得成佛也。供養法身者，以佛所體為懷，至於大悟智慧。而以相比，豈可同年而語其優劣哉？

> \[Seng\]zhao says: The merit of making offerings compared to wise understanding and prajñā is assessed across various sūtras. \[Dao\]sheng says: Offerings of food and clothing fundamentally apply effort to generate mundane fortune; they are not the method for seeking principle. Based on these, one can at best be reborn among humans and gods; ultimately one cannot attain buddhahood. Those who make offerings to the dharmakāya take what the Buddha embodied as their concern, reaching great awakening and wisdom. Comparing these two, how could one speak of their relative merits in the same breath?
