維摩經疏卷第三．第六 6.14

6.14

若欲食下許取妙食。待須臾者得益不遙也。當令汝得未曾有食者。該云香積味飯食之能令長道斷諸煩惱。世所不行名未曾有也。莊云。今言未曾有食。只食未曾有未曾有食。豈有可得也。

'If you wish to eat' and below: promising to fetch the wonderful food. 'Wait a moment' means that obtaining the benefit is not far off. 'I shall cause you to obtain food such as you have never had before': broadly speaking, the food of the flavour of the Heap of Fragrance, when eaten, can cause one to cultivate the path and sever all afflictions; because it does not circulate in the mundane world, it is called 'never had before'. Master Zhuang says: 'Now speaking of food never had before: it is just eating the never-before-had of food never had before; how could it be something graspable?'
