5.53

承師有言:燒身臂指,乃是出家菩薩。捨身命財,方名真法供養。此語出《梵網》、《法華》二經,然並是魔王所說,且非正教。

I have heard the master say: 'Burning the body, arms, or fingers pertains only to renunciant bodhisattvas. Relinquishing the body, life, and wealth is alone called the true Dharma-offering.' These words appear in the two sūtras *Brahmajāla* and *Saddharmapuṇḍarīka*; however, they were both spoken by the Māra king and are not orthodox teachings.
