MEAL SUTRAS

The Five Reflections

First, let us reflect deeply on our true efforts and the efforts of those who brought us this food.
Second, may we live in a way that makes us worthy to receive it.
Third, what is most essential is the practice of mindfulness which helps us transcend greed, anger, and delusion.
Fourth, we appreciate this food which sustains the good health of our body and mind.
Fifth, we accept this food to complete the awakening of the pure mind of all beings.

Verse of the Three Morsels of Food

The first morsel is to cut all delusions.
The second morsel is to maintain our clear mind.
The third morsel is to liberate all sentient beings.
May we all realize the Buddha’s way.

After the Meal

Verse of the Water Offering

The water with which we wash our bowls tastes like heavenly nectar.
We drink it for the myriad beings in all realms that they too may be filled and satisfied.

Verse After the Morning Gruel Meal

Having finished the morning meal, let us pray that all beings may accomplish whatever tasks they are engaged in and be fulfilled with all the Buddha Dharmas.

Verse after the Midday/ Evening Meal

Having finished the midday/evening meal, our bodily strength is fully restored. Our power extends over the Ten Quarters and through the Three Periods of time and we are strong.

 As to revolving the Wheel of Dharma, let no thought be wasted over it. May all beings attain true Wisdom.
