Furthermore, the Ratnamegha Sūtra states: “One does not make offerings to the Buddha with material gifts. Why is this? The Tathāgata's dharmakāya does not depend on material gifts; one makes offerings to the Buddha only through the gift of the Dharma. To complete the Buddha path, making offerings with the Dharma is supreme and foremost.”
