注維摩詰經 4.332

4.332

[Kumāra]jīva says: If one practices the giving of material wealth, one is merely called a donor, not a field of merit. If one practices the Dharma gift, one is called a donor and also a field of merit. [Seng]zhao says: "Field of merit" means that people plant merit in me, and I am free of the tares and weeds of defiled conduct, so that people reap immeasurable fruit and retribution; thus it is a field of merit. [Dao]sheng says: Being a donor is easy, but receiving offerings is difficult. One must certainly have virtue that can produce merit, and only then is it this.
