時維摩詰語舍利弗等諸大聲聞。仁者可食如來甘露味飯。大悲所熏。無以限意食之所不消也 此下二味為佛事文四。此初勸食也世食資於毒牙。此飯成於甘露。生曰。泥洹是甘露之法而食。此食必以得之故飯中有甘露味焉。大悲所熏者。我心感報所濟有涯。大悲熏修福惠無盡。食者當求佛果普利群生。若局於己身自調自度既背施心則不消也。
Then Vimalakīrti said to Śāriputra and the other great śrāvakas: "Virtuous ones, you may eat the food with the flavor of the Tathāgata's ambrosia, perfumed by great compassion. Do not eat it with a limited mind, lest it fail to be digested." (Below is the second part, the flavor performing the Buddha's work, in four sections. This is the first, encouraging them to eat. Worldly food relies on poisoned teeth; this food is accomplished through ambrosia. Daosheng says: "Nirvāṇa is the dharma of ambrosia, and eating this food guarantees that one will obtain it; therefore, the food contains the flavor of ambrosia. 'Perfumed by great compassion' means that the retribution felt by an ego-bound mind has a limit to what it can deliver, whereas the blessing and wisdom cultivated by great compassion are inexhaustible. Those who eat it must seek the fruit of buddhahood to benefit all living beings universally. If one restricts oneself to one's own person, disciplining and liberating only oneself, one contradicts the intention of the gift, and it will not digest.")
