謝秉拂夏齋上堂：「寧可熱鐵纏身，不受信心人衣；寧可洋銅灌口，不受信心人食。上座若能如是，攪長河為酥酪，變大地作黃金，供養上座未為分外。只是不受衣、不受食，焉有許多殊勝？忽若有人修法供養，又作麼生？」卓主丈：「生心受施，淨名所呵。」

> Ascending the hall to thank \[the donors\] for the retreat feast upon holding the whisk: "Better to wrap a hot iron around one's body than to accept the clothing of a person of faith; better to pour molten copper into one's mouth than to accept the food of a person of faith. If the elder could be like this, then churning the great river into curd and transforming the great earth into gold would not be beyond measure as an offering to the elder. But simply not accepting clothing and not accepting food—how could there be so many superior merits? If suddenly someone were to practice the Dharma offering, what then?" He struck the staff: "'Giving rise to thought to receive offerings is rebuked by Vimalakīrti.'"
