御注金剛般若波羅蜜經宣演 2.183

2.183

Sūtra: “Subhūti addressed the Buddha: […] not receive merit?”
Exposition: This directly states the question. Subhūti asks the reason because the Buddha previously spoke of seeking the provisions of merit, and just before stated that this merit was superior to the former, yet now says that one does not receive merit. The treatise says: “Because the World-Honoured One stated elsewhere that one should receive the accumulation of merit.”
