Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra
Chapter 10: The Buddha of the Fragrant Land (17)
The incarnate Bodhisattva said: “Measure not the infinite virtue and wisdom of Tathagata by the finite virtue and wisdom of the Sravaka; though the four great oceans might become dry, yet this bowl of food would never be exhausted. All men [in all the W’orlds] may eat of it even as much as a quantity equal to Mount Sumeru, and for a period lasting a Kalpa, yet it could never be exhausted. And why ? The food spared by one who is infinitely endowed with the virtues of discipline, meditation, wisdom, liberation, and knowledge of liberation, could never be exhausted.”
