又大集經云。菩薩有四種施具足智慧。何等為四。一以紙筆墨與法師令書寫經。二種種校飾莊嚴妙座以施法師。三以諸所須供養之具奉上法師。四無諂曲心讚歎法師。

Furthermore, the Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra states: "A bodhisattva has four kinds of giving that bring wisdom to completion. What are the four? 1. Giving paper, brushes, and ink to Dharma masters so they may transcribe sūtras. 2. Giving a wondrous seat, adorned with various decorations, to a Dharma master. 3. Offering all necessary articles of supply to a Dharma master. 4. Praising a Dharma master with a mind devoid of flattery and deceit."
