5.25

Furthermore, the Dazhidulun states: "The bodhisattvas have accomplished immeasurable and inexhaustible merit; making an offering of a single meal to the Buddhas of the ten directions and the Saṅgha, all are fully satisfied, yet it is not exhausted—just like a gushing spring that wells forth without drying up. It is like Mañjuśrī who, with a single bowl of modaka dumplings, made offerings to eighty-four thousand monks, and all were fully satisfied, yet it was not exhausted. Furthermore, the bodhisattva uses this single bowl of food to make offerings to the Buddhas of the ten directions, and before the Buddhas of the ten directions, utensils of food and drink appear in abundance, just as when spirits obtain a single mouthful of human food, it multiplies ten million times over."
