7.25
The buddhas and bodhisattvas do not consume this food; in order to cause merit to increase, they appear to consume it, enabling practitioners to be endowed with merit and wisdom and swiftly attain perfection. Just as the Buddha accepted Cunda's final offering to enable him to complete the dāna-pāramitā, this is likewise so; therefore, offerings must be made.
