維摩經略疏 10.7

10.7

第二、遣請飯，為五：初覓請飯之人、二文殊神力眾無言者、三淨名訶、四文殊引證為答、五化作菩薩設問訊請飯之解。二文殊神力咸默然者，為二意：一、明賓主之儀。設食本是主人，何客容為致飯。二、為欲顯淨名勝德，故今默然。三、淨名訶，如文。四、文殊引佛語為答「勿輕未學」。若有得不思議解脫，致飯不難。其未得亦有得義，故不可輕。其餘如文。

Second, dispatching [someone] to request food consists of five parts: first, seeking a person to request food; second, through Mañjuśrī's supernatural power, no one in the assembly speaking; third, Vimalakīrti rebuking them; fourth, Mañjuśrī citing a testimony in reply; fifth, conjuring a bodhisattva to prepare an understanding of inquiring after health and requesting food. Second, the entire assembly remaining silent through Mañjuśrī's supernatural power has two intentions: First, to clarify the etiquette between host and guest. Preparing food originally belongs to the host; how could a guest be permitted to procure the food? Second, because of wishing to manifest Vimalakīrti's superior virtue, they now remained silent. Third, Vimalakīrti's rebuke is as in the text. Fourth, Mañjuśrī cited the Buddha's words in reply: 'Do not disparage those who are not yet learned.' If there is one who has attained the inconceivable liberation, procuring food is not difficult. For those who have not yet attained it, they also possess the capacity for attainment; therefore, they should not be disparaged. The rest is as in the text.
