(Vimalakirti Sutra - Chapter III The Disciples' Reluctance to Visit Vimalakirti 3)

Then, the Buddha said to the venerable Mahakasyapa, "Mahakasyapa, you go to the Licchavi Vimalakirti to inquire about his illness."

"Lord, I am indeed reluctant to go to the Licchavi Vimalakirti to inquire about his illness. Why? I remember one day, when I was in the street of the poor begging for my food, the Licchavi Vimalakirti came along and said to me, 'Reverend Mahakasyapa, to avoid the houses of the wealthy, and to favor the houses of the poor - this is partiality in benevolence. Reverend Mahakasyapa, you should dwell on the fact of the equality of things, and you should seek alms with consideration for all living beings at all times. You should beg your food in awareness of the ultimate nonexistence of food. You should seek alms for the sake of eliminating the materialism of others. When you enter a town, you should keep in mind its actual voidness, yet you should proceed through it in order to develop men and women. You should enter homes as if entering the family of the Buddha. You should accept alms by not taking anything. You should see form like a man blind from birth, hear sounds as if they were echoes, smell scents as if they were winds, experience tastes without any discrimination, touch tangibles in awareness of the ultimate lack of contact in gnosis, and know things with the consciousness of an illusory creature. That which is without intrinsic substance and without imparted substance does not burn. And what does not burn will not be extinguished.

"'Elder Mahakasyapa, if, equipoised in the eight liberations without transcending the eight perversions, you can enter the equanimity of reality by means of the equanimity of perversion, and if you can make a gift to all living beings and an offering to all the saints and Buddhas out of even a single measure of alms, then you yourself may eat. Thus, when you eat, after offering, you should be neither affected by passions nor free of passions, neither involved in concentration nor free from concentration, neither living in the world nor abiding in liberation. Furthermore, those who give such alms, reverend, have neither great merit nor small merit, neither gain nor loss. They should follow the way of the Buddhas, not the way of the disciples. Only in this way, Elder Mahakasyapa, is the practice of eating by alms meaningful.'

"Lord, when I heard this teaching, I was astonished and thought: 'Reverence to all bodhisattvas! If a lay bodhisattva may be endowed with such eloquence, who is there who would not conceive the spirit of unexcelled, perfect enlightenment? From that time forth, I no longer recommend the vehicles of the disciples and of the solitary sages but recommend the Mahayana. And thus, Lord, I am reluctant to go to this good man to inquire about his illness."

(維摩詰所說經第三品 弟子之3)

佛告大迦葉。汝行詣維摩詰問疾。迦葉白佛言。世尊。我不堪任詣彼問疾。所以者何。憶念我昔於貧里而行乞。時維摩詰來謂我言。唯大迦葉。有慈悲心而不能普。捨豪富從貧乞。迦葉。住平等法應次行乞食。為不食故應行乞食。為壞和合相故應取揣食。為不受故應受彼食。以空聚想入於聚落。所見色與盲等。所聞聲與響等。所嗅香與風等。所食味不分別。受諸觸如智證。知諸法如幻相無自性無他性。本自不然今則無滅。迦葉。若能不捨八邪入八解脫。以邪相入正法。以一食施一切。供養諸佛及眾賢聖。然後可食。如是食者非有煩惱非離煩惱。非入定意非起定意。非住世間非住涅槃。其有施者無大福無小福。不為益不為損。是為正入佛道不依聲聞。迦葉。若如是食為不空食人之施也。時我世尊。聞說是語得未曾有。即於一切菩薩深起敬心。復作是念。斯有家名辯才智慧乃能如是。其誰聞此不發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。我從是來不復勸人以聲聞辟支佛行。是故不任詣彼問疾。
