法華論疏 3.29

3.29

Because through making offerings to the Buddha, one understands that the Buddha reveals the power to teach and transform sentient beings. Now, if one ultimately does not make offerings, one will not understand this matter. Furthermore, the reason the Buddha should be offered to is that the Buddha possesses the power to transform beings. If I make offerings to the Buddha, I too will attain this power and will not realize the lesser fruit. Because one does not make offerings to the Buddha and grasps the lesser fruit, one loses the power to transform beings.
