At that time, Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha: "Bhagavat, it is said in the sūtras that those of false views and broken precepts may not dwell in the same state, drink from the same river, recite the precepts, hold poṣadha, perform kṣamā, or conduct pravāraṇā together. Such a person is named one who has fallen away from the noble path and does not enter into the community's assembly. How can it be said that they can consume offerings? If they consume offerings, they would receive the worthy-of-offerings status equally with the Buddhas, surpassing the arhats and pratyekabuddhas. We only pray that the Bhagavat will explain this in detail. Having heard this, I will also explain it for sentient beings just as the Buddha has explained it, causing them to attain deliverance."
