Preparing rice, the hundred delicacies, and the five fruits: these are the foods presented at noon. Wash-basins: these are vessels fully supplied for dining. Fragrant oil, lamps, and candles: these are intended to dispel darkness and keep the light. Beds and bedding: these stop exhaustion and settle worries. Now, the basin was instituted by the sage, but its function relies on meritorious practice. Therefore, one places wash-basins at the Dragon Gate and records torches in the Thunder Chamber; Qin's abundance shone brightly before, and Zhao's jade was worn behind. The divine phoenix leaps upward, the flying canopy hangs down, reflecting radiant gems; the eight delicacies are arrayed in the basin with the hundred flavors. When the dāna is completed, merit responds in time; wishing to elevate those who recognize kindness, it also aids and benefits all living beings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.20) - [Next: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.22) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781~en-mt.1.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2781.1.21) · Pramāṇa
