維摩經略疏 4.94

4.94

「時維摩」下，三、正述被呵之事。文為五：一取鉢盛飯、二正彈呵、三置鉢而去、四淨名安慰、五聞者悟道。初文者，若事解，施主之儀若不與飯而呵，似有悋惜。今與而呵，表心無悋，但乞者心非，故愍而示之。若表理者，持空鉢而往，表但見於空。以滿鉢與者，表用妙有彈呵，示理不空。故《大經》云「聲聞見空，不見不空。」菩薩但見，將欲呵其滯空示以不空，故取空鉢盛滿與之。

From "At that time Vimalakīrti" below, third, directly recounting the matter of being rebuked. The text has five parts: first, taking the bowl and filling it with food; second, the rebuke proper; third, putting down the bowl and departing; fourth, Vimalakīrti consoling him; fifth, those who heard awakening to the Way. As for the first part: from the standpoint of phenomenal conduct, if a donor rebukes without giving food, it appears to be stinginess. Here, giving while rebuking shows that his mind is free of stinginess; it is only that the beggar's mind is mistaken, so out of pity he instructs him. If expressing the principle: going while holding an empty bowl signifies seeing only emptiness. Giving with a full bowl signifies using wonderful existence to rebuke him, showing that the principle is not empty. Therefore the Great Sūtra says: "Voice-hearers see emptiness, but do not see non-emptiness." The bodhisattva sees [both]; wishing to rebuke his clinging to emptiness and reveal non-emptiness to him, he took the empty bowl, filled it, and gave it to him.
