法苑珠林 24.42

24.42

若以華塗香　衣食及湯藥
以此供諸佛　不名為真供
如來坐道場　所得微妙法
若人能修學　是真供養佛

“If with flowers, scented paste,
Clothing, food, and medicines
One makes offerings to the Buddhas,
This is not called true offering.
The subtle Dharma attained
By the Tathāgata seated at the place of awakening—
If a person can cultivate and train in it,
This is truly making offerings to the Buddha.”
