經。若持此經至而用供養　二勸物受持。言供養者有其二種。一勝二財。法供養者。謂受持讀誦宣說開解名法供養。財供養者謂種種花香寶幢幡蓋名財供養故。智度論第三十云。法供養者。謂菩薩行六波羅蜜。以法供養戒時菩薩得無生法忍。自除煩惱。及除眾生煩惱。供養者隨其所宜。寒時應以薪火上衣溫室被褥及以飲食。謂盛熱時應以冷水扇蓋涼室生薄之衣上妙之食。風雨之時就送供養。

Sūtra: “If one upholds this sūtra…” to “…and makes offerings.” Second, exhorting beings to receive and uphold. Regarding “making offerings,” there are two kinds: first, superior; second, material. “Dharma offerings” means receiving, upholding, reciting, explaining, and clarifying [the teaching]; this is called a Dharma offering. “Material offerings” means various flowers, incense, precious banners, and canopies; this is called a material offering. Therefore the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa, fascicle 30, says: “Dharma offerings mean the bodhisattva practicing the six pāramitās. When offering the Dharma by observing the precepts, the bodhisattva attains the patient acceptance of the unarisen dharmas, eliminating their own afflictions and eliminating the afflictions of sentient beings. Making offerings should accord with what is appropriate: during cold weather, one should offer firewood, upper garments, heated rooms, bedding, and food and drink; during intense heat, one should offer cold water, fans, canopies, cool rooms, thin clothing, and supreme food; during wind and rain, one should go and deliver offerings.”
