2.54

Furthermore, the Fanwang jing says: 'If a disciple of the Buddha sees a Mahāyāna Dharma master of shared views and shared practice coming into a monastery, a residence, or a city or town, coming from a hundred li or a thousand li away, he should welcome him on arrival and see him off on departure, bowing and making offerings to him. Three times each day he should make offerings to him; daily he should make offerings to the Dharma master of three liang of gold, food and drink of a hundred flavours, beds and seats, providing him with all necessities. He should constantly request the Dharma master to preach the Dharma at the three periods of the day, bowing down three times every day, without giving rise to an angry mind or a mind of distress and affliction, giving up one's life for the sake of the Dharma to request the Dharma. If one does not do so, one commits a light defiling offense.'
