注維摩詰經 4.252

4.252

[Seng]zhao says: According to the Indian rule for a great assembly of giving, one opens four gates at one's father's house and erects a tall banner announcing to the world that all who have needs should go to his house; for seven days he empties his household to give, seeking the blessing of Brahmā. At that time, the Pure Name, seeing that his mundane giving was complete and intending to advance him with the giving of Dharma, first criticized what he had arranged in order to clarify the distinction in giving. [Dao]sheng says: This was not what could be called great.
