4.26

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.
