5.11

若菩薩於如來及支提。手自供養。不依懈惰令他作。是名菩薩自作供養。若菩薩於如來及支提。不獨供養。普令親屬在家出家悉共供養。是名自他共供養。若菩薩有少許物。以慈悲心施彼貧苦薄福眾生。令供養如來及支提。令得安樂而不自為。是名他作供養。自作供養者。得大果報。他作供養者。得大大果報自作他作供養者。得最大大果報。若菩薩於如來及支提。以衣食雜寶。種種供養者。是名財物供養。

If a bodhisattva personally makes offerings with their own hands to the Tathāgata and caityas, not relying on laziness to have others do it, this is called the bodhisattva's offerings made by oneself. If a bodhisattva does not make offerings alone to the Tathāgata and caityas, but universally causes relatives, laypeople, and monastics all to make offerings together, this is called offerings made together by oneself and others. If a bodhisattva possesses only a small amount of goods and, with a mind of compassion, gives them to those poor, suffering, and merit-deprived sentient beings, causing them to make offerings to the Tathāgata and caityas so that they may attain peace and happiness, rather than acting for oneself, this is called offerings made by others. One who makes offerings oneself obtains a great retribution; one who causes others to make offerings obtains an even greater retribution; and one who makes offerings both oneself and through others obtains the greatest of great retributions. If a bodhisattva makes various offerings of clothing, food, and miscellaneous treasures to the Tathāgata and caityas, this is called offerings of material goods.
