注維摩詰經 9.32

9.32

什曰：神足變化、說法度人，化之常也。飯本充體而今得道，故歎未曾有。佛以化人為事，凡是化人皆名佛事。以阿難謂佛事之妙妙盡於此，故下廣明佛事，以廣其心也。肇曰：飯本充體乃除結縛，未曾聞見也。生曰：佛以應悟為事，而香飯能之，未曾有者也。

[Kumāra]jīva says: Supernatural transformations and preaching the Dharma to deliver people are the common methods of converting. Rice originally only nourishes the physical body, yet now they attain the Path through it; thus he exclaims that it is unprecedented. A buddha takes converting people as his work; whatever converts people is all called 'the work of a buddha.' Because Ānanda thought that the wonders of a buddha's work were exhausted in this, [the Buddha] below extensively explains the work of a buddha in order to broaden his mind. [Seng]zhao says: Rice originally only nourishes the physical body, yet it removes defilements and fetters; this had never been heard or seen before. [Dao]sheng says: A buddha takes eliciting awakening as his work, and the fragrant rice can do this; thus it is unprecedented.
