維摩義記 4.26

4.26

問曰：舍利向前念食為菩薩，維摩何故呵其自欲？釋言：舍利向前念食，原從自己須食心起。自有所欲，謂他亦須，故念菩薩當於何食。維摩今者深察其本，故就呵之。

Question: Śāriputra previously thought of food for the sake of the bodhisattvas; why does Vimalakīrti rebuke his personal desire? Explanation: Śāriputra's previous thought of food originally arose from his own mind's need for food. Having his own desire, he supposed that others also needed it, and therefore thought: "Where shall these bodhisattvas eat?" Vimalakīrti now deeply discerns its root, and therefore rebukes him accordingly.
