佛說仁王般若波羅蜜經 2.21

2.21

大牟尼言：「有修行十三觀門諸善男子，為大法王，從習忍至金剛頂，皆為法師，依持建立。汝等大眾，應如佛供養而供養之，應持百萬億天華天香而以奉上。

The Great Sage said: “There are good sons who practice the contemplation-gates of the thirteen [levels of patience] and are great Dharma kings. From the patience of habituation up to the diamond summit, they are all dharma masters on whom [the world] relies and depends. You, the great assembly, should make offerings to them just as you would offer to a buddha, bringing millions of billions of heavenly flowers and heavenly incense to present to them.
