經。須菩提至得福多不 贊曰。智見淨中福德具足。顯第十五福德非善疑。令修佛身具足福德智。為能導引生福故。福為所依能資智故。若無福者知見何依既不能居。前之淨土亦不能感。後相兩身為成。前後假真福而諸菩薩不能了心。皆為非心離顛倒故。返疑福德亦是離倒。作是疑云。若說染淨心皆倒者。依心修福亦是離倒。既非善何要修行。由執故不離顛倒之因。由疑故不修離倒之福。今欲顯彼疑執之心。令其修行離倒之福故。顯離相福德甚多。無著約離執而修福名福德具足。天親遣疑而知善名顯福德非善疑。文下為三問答於成。此初也。以離顛倒無住之心。而以七寶奉施如來。當得佛身福德自在。以是因緣福寧多不。

Sūtra: “Subhūti, […] would he attain much merit?” / Commentary: Complete endowment with merit within the purity of wisdom and seeing resolves the fifteenth doubt, that merit is not good, leading one to cultivate complete endowment with merit in the Buddha's body. Wisdom can guide and produce merit, and merit serves as the support able to nourish wisdom. If there were no merit, what would knowledge and vision rely on? One could not dwell in the earlier pure land, nor could one bring about the two bodies with their later marks. To accomplish the earlier and later, conventional and true merit, bodhisattvas, unable to comprehend that minds are all non-minds free from inversions, conversely suspect that merit is also free from inversions, raising this doubt: "If it is said that defiled and pure minds are all inverted, then cultivating merit on the basis of mind is also free from inversions. Since it is not good, why is it necessary to cultivate it?" Due to grasping, they do not leave the causes of inversion; due to doubt, they do not cultivate the merit that is free from inversions. Now, wishing to reveal their doubting and grasping minds and lead them to cultivate the merit free from inversions, [the sūtra] shows that signless merit is exceedingly great. Asaṅga calls leaving grasping to cultivate merit "complete endowment with merit"; Vasubandhu calls dispelling doubt to know goodness "resolving the doubt that merit is not good." The text below has three parts: question, answer, and confirmation. This is the first. If, with a mind free from inversions and non-abiding, one gives the seven precious substances as an offering to the Tathāgata, one will attain sovereign merit of the Buddha's body. For this reason, would that merit not be much?
