維摩經略疏 4.83

4.83

「以一至可食」，二、明食用。迦葉得思議法喜禪悅，此無廣大之用。菩薩依不思議真法喜禪悅，雙遊二諦得世出世之食，故能以一食施一切，供養諸佛及眾賢聖，如致香積一鉢之飯，一眾食之猶故不澌，是真應供。能報施主，外為真田，然後可食。既不能爾，何得內心受虛偽禪悅之食，外非良田而捨富受貧，使貧富俱無真實福利。

From "with a single [portion of food] … up to may eat" is the second [part], clarifying the function of the food. Kāśyapa attained conceivable joy of the Dharma and dhyāna bliss, which lacks vast and great function. The bodhisattva relies on the inconceivable joy of the true Dharma and dhyāna bliss, roaming simultaneously through the two truths to attain worldly and transworldly food; therefore he can give a single portion of food to all, making offerings to all buddhas and assemblies of worthy ones and sages, just like bringing a single bowl of rice from Sarvagandhasugandha, which, even when eaten by the whole assembly, is still not exhausted; this is a true recipient of offerings. Being able to repay the donors, externally he is a true field [of merit], and only then may he eat. Since he cannot do so, how could he inwardly receive the food of illusory dhyāna bliss and outwardly fail to be a good field, yet abandon the rich to receive from the poor, causing neither rich nor poor to obtain true blessings and benefits?
