Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

§68 tatra bhagavān sudattaṃ śreṣṭhiputram āmantrayate sma:  gaccha tvaṃ kulaputra vimalakīrter licchaver glānaparipṛcchakaḥ | 
佛告長者子善見  汝行詣維摩詰問疾 
佛告長者子善德  汝行詣維摩詰問疾 
爾時世尊告長者子蘇達多言  汝應往詣無垢稱所問安其疾

The Buddha then said to the merchant’s son, Sudatta,  "Noble son, go to the Licchavi Vimalakīrti to inquire about his illness."

善見白佛言 我不堪任詣彼問疾  所以者何  憶念我昔在諸父舍 盛祀大祀    至于七日 
善德白佛言 世尊我不堪任詣彼問疾  所以者何  憶念我昔自於父舍設大施會  供養一切沙門婆羅門及諸外道貧窮下賤孤獨乞人  期滿七日 
時蘇達多白言 世尊 我不堪任詣彼問疾  所以者何  憶念我昔自於父舍 七日七夜作大祠會  供養一切沙門婆羅門及諸外道貧窮下賤孤獨乞人  而此大祠期滿七日

Sudatta replied, "Lord, I am indeed reluctant to go to that good man to inquire about his illness.  Why?  Lord, I remember one day in my father’s house when, in order to celebrate a great sacrifice,  I was bestowing gifts upon religious devotees, Brahmāns, the poor, the wretched, the unfortunate, beggars, and all the needy.

時維摩詰來入祠壇 謂我言  長者子 不當祀祠如眾人祠  當祀法祠  何用是思欲祠為 
時維摩詰來入會中 謂我言  長者子 夫大施會不當如汝所設  當為法施之會  何用是財施會為 
時無垢稱來入會中而謂我言  唯長者子 夫祠會者不應如汝今此所設  汝今應設法施祠會  何用如是財施祠為

On the seventh and final day of this great sacrifice, the Licchavi Vimalakīrti came there and said,  ’Merchant’s son, you should not celebrate a sacrifice in this way.  You should celebrate a Dharma-sacrifice.  What is the use of the sacrifice of material things?’ 
.  .  .  . 
tam aham etad avocam: kathaṃ punar dharmayajño yaṣṭavyaḥ | 
我問何如為法之祠祀 
我言 居士 何謂法施之會 
我言 居士 何等名為法施祠會 
bdag gis de la ’di skad ces bgyis so || chos kyi mchod sbyin de ji ltar sbyin par bya | 
"I then asked him, ’How does one give a Dharma-sacrifice?’ "
