Summary
s.1The bodhisattva Mañjuśrī approaches the Buddha, who is teaching the Dharma in Śrāvastī, and offers him the shade of a jeweled parasol. The god Susīma, who is in the audience, asks Mañjuśrī whether he is satisfied with his offering, to which Mañjuśrī replies that those who seek enlightenment should never be content with making offerings to the Buddha. Susīma then asks what purpose one should keep in mind when making offerings to the Buddha. In response, Mañjuśrī lists a set of four purposes.
s.1菩薩文殊師利來到佛陀面前。佛陀當時在舍衛城宣說佛法。文殊師利向佛陀獻上一把寶蓋遮陽。在場聽法的天神蘇尸摩問文殊師利是否對自己的供養感到滿足。文殊師利回答說，尋求開悟的人永遠不應該滿足於向佛陀做供養。蘇尸摩接著問，人們在向佛陀做供養時應該抱持什麼樣的目的。文殊師利為此列舉了四種目的。
