法苑珠林 41.45

41.45

若佛子。一切不得受別請利養入己。而此利養屬十方僧。而別受請。即取十方僧物。入己用者。犯輕垢罪。

‘If one is a child of the Buddha, one must never accept specific invitations to take offerings for oneself. Since these offerings belong to the saṃgha of the ten directions, if one separately accepts an invitation, one is taking property of the saṃgha of the ten directions for one's own use, committing an infraction of light defilement.’
