6.93

"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.
