法苑珠林 41.14

41.14

若菩薩殊勝不染財物。供養如來及支提。若自力得。若從他求。若如意得財。若化作身。若二若三乃至百千萬億身。悉禮如來。彼一一身化作百千手。彼一一手以種種華香供養如來及支提。彼一切身悉讚歎如來真實功德。饒益眾生。如是等名為如意自在力供養。不待如來出現于世。何以故。住不退轉地菩薩。於一切佛剎未曾障礙故。

If a bodhisattva uses excellent, untainted material goods to make offerings to the Tathāgata and caityas, whether obtained through one's own power, sought from others, or acquired as wished; or manifests phantom bodies—two, three, or up to hundreds, thousands, millions, or billions of bodies—all paying homage to the Tathāgata, with each body manifesting hundreds of thousands of hands, and each hand offering diverse flowers and fragrances to the Tathāgata and caityas, and all these bodies praising the Tathāgata's true virtues and benefiting sentient beings: such offerings as these are termed offerings through sovereign power at will, which do not depend on the Tathāgata appearing in the world. Why is this? Because a bodhisattva abiding on the stage of non-retrogression is never obstructed in any Buddha-field.'
