6.93

「如是至福田」,五、結成法施之會。即住檀中具一切佛法,隨所施財如毒箭燻藥,若有著處諸煩惱滅、成一切善根,是為法施之會。「為大施主亦為一切眾生福田」,若內心成就一切佛法,其有施者即能長彼一切善根,是為真福田也。

"Such... field of merit" is the fifth, concluding the formation of the assembly of the Dharma-gift. That is, abiding within giving, one is fully endowed with all buddha-dharmas; whatever material wealth is given is like a poisoned arrow smeared with medicine: wherever it touches, all afflictions are extinguished and all roots of goodness are accomplished; this is the assembly of the Dharma-gift. "Being a great donor and also a field of merit for all sentient beings": if within the mind one accomplishes all buddha-dharmas, whoever gives to them will have all their roots of goodness grow; this is the true field of merit.
