集諸經禮懺儀 1.83

1.83

持戒清淨如所奉，恭敬隨時以粥施，
十利饒益於行者，色力壽樂辭清辯，
宿食風除飢渴消，是名良藥佛所說，
欲得生天長受樂，應當以粥施眾僧。

Pure in upholding precepts as instructed, / reverently giving congee according to the time, / it brings ten benefits to the practitioner: / complexion, strength, longevity, happiness, and clear eloquence; / clearing away indigestion and wind, dispelling hunger and thirst. / This is called excellent medicine, taught by the Buddha. / If one wishes to be born in heaven and long enjoy bliss, / one should offer congee to the assembly of monks.
