Notes on the Five Views of Food Storage

(XNUMX) No life exists alone

(XNUMX) No life exists alone

While listening to me, we are going to have lunch for this.After everyone receives it, open the lid and make offerings to the Buddha. Cover the Buddha and cannot eat it.Buddha eats every day, he only eats one meal, opens it, and listens to my explanation first. Later, we will have a ceremony for offering to the Buddha. Everyone will recite together. The most important thing is to eat and save the five views. We usually this is our monk. It is one of the five lessons we have to do when all the people are in the hall and when the Sangha is going to use the fast.

Then this layman also needs to have this kind of visualization when we eat, because everyone should not want to say that I bought this dish and this meal with money. Of course I can eat it. It seems to be right. But have you ever thought that sometimes money may not buy food, money can make ghosts, but it may not be able to solve all things, so we must be grateful, although there is money to buy, but, if not The farmer worked hard to grow rice fields. There are no vegetable farmers, I know that I have grown vegetables myself. That is also very hard.

If there is no one to transport these foods, or even if we are in this dojo, without these volunteers and Bodhisattvas, we must learn from them, and we must be generous. Don’t just take it for granted, sit back and enjoy the results, without the slightest gratitude. , Even if you bought everything with your own money, then you are just damaging your blessings and not following the path. Therefore, even when we are dining, we must be grateful at home and eat in our hearts. There are also these five visualizations at that time.

The first one is to remember how much credit we have, and compare the amount of credit to the source. Think about it, how much credit do we have?No, when we were born, we came naked, without anything, and then we began to accept the support, care of our parents, and even enter the society, the boss of the company, colleagues, friends, how much we accept the favor of others, and even For people who don’t know, we just said, like farmers, all these things.

There is no way for a person to survive in society. It is the power of all people to provide us with peace and health, and even the country, the country is kind to us, right?Let us not have to survive the war. There are too many people who are kind to us, but what about ourselves?Think about it, how much credit do we have, how much credit do we have?What have you paid to this society?No, so what kind of heart should I eat?Thanksgiving, ashamed.

The second one is to think of one's own morals, and there is no need to provide it.Not to mention the virtues. It is very difficult to not lack virtue. Really, lack of virtue. The two words lack of virtue seem to be a curse. In the whole, it is a little more gentle.Lack of virtue, everyone lacks virtue, we are not perfect, we need to be improved, so is it lacking?Or is it all?Absence does not mean that all of them must be absent. It is whether your virtues are perfect or flawed. This means that all are absent.

Third, prevent the heart from passing away, and greed and so on.When we eat, we must not be greedy, we must prevent it, and prevent our hearts. Oh, this dish is good or not, and if it is delicious, I need to eat more. Then you will grow greedy. This is called prevention.

Then, we, fourth, we need to know the right remedy for the cure.What is the purpose of our meal?To treat this medicine and treat this meal as medicine is to treat our sick body. If we don’t take it for a day, it’s as if our body is weak and sick, so we actually take medicine as if we eat. This is indeed the case, you will die if you don't eat it!It's like medicine. You won't die if you take it. Isn't that medicine? What is it?It is to treat our body, so it should be taken as medicine.

Fifth, for enlightenment karma, you can only receive this food.In particular, we practitioners, if we don’t eat this food, we will not be able to cultivate smoothly, so if the body is not defective, we don’t even eat food at all. Enlightenment is more important, because if you don’t eat it, there will be problems and there is no way. Practice smoothly, so you have to eat before you receive this food.

These five visualizations are righteousness, righteous thoughts, and righteous thinking. We must have these five thoughts when we eat, so that we will have a lot of merit after eating this meal, and that food will be absorbed very well.

(XNUMX) As long as the holder of righteous thoughts is allowed to have no food for lunch

We all know that water crystals, Dr. Emoto Masaru has proved that everything has spirituality, what kind of mood we use to eat this meal, this, they all know, so if you eat with right thinking, it will taste delicious for you. Look, every bite is delicious. I am drooling when I talk about it. I have been drooling (sensing nectar water) just now when I am chanting Buddha, and I have been swallowing it. I wonder if you have this kind of reaction?

This is a brief description. Actually, these five views can be explained in detail, but there is no time now, and we will go deeper in the future. The most important thing is that we must always bring up this righteous thought. After you go back, you will just visualize every meal, and It is best if everyone does not eat for lunch. This time we advocate that many people start to eat for lunch on the same day.

Originally it was twelve o’clock if we didn’t eat at noon, but we could open up the predestined relationship in time. Otherwise, there are really few that can do it, including I sometimes open up the predestined relationship in time. If you have troubles, time can open up fate, it’s okay if it’s past twelve o’clock, don’t do it at home, try not to open fate, like we are at the dojo, I’m not hungry at XNUMX o’clock, I still eat it first, End the fast before twelve o'clock.

When going out is really compelling, time can be predestined. Don’t eat after a full meal. Don’t think that it’s so difficult. I don’t even eat all the vegetarian food. Just call me. Don't eat after lunch, don't be polite, and don't want to say, oh, that's good, since the Master mentions it, then I will like it and eat one or two less meals a week, so that I am not satisfied, you might as well eat every day.

Because this is not very effective, the merits of really eating one less meal are too great, you can’t imagine, including your health will get better and better. This is the concept that I have only recently transferred to, my own benefit, so I Will share with everyone, it is not difficult to hold the afternoon.

(XNUMX) Not eating after noon has more advantages than disadvantages

It’s not difficult not to eat after lunch. We have time to talk about it this afternoon, but we don’t have time to talk about it now. We also have some CDs to listen to. If we have time in the afternoon, we will share with you the benefits of not eating after lunch. In short, It's very simple. As long as you make a wish now, then you will do it very smoothly and not difficultly. Everyone can do it, and the body will become healthier and healthier.

Including that I originally had stomach problems. I was too stressed to study before, so I didn’t dare to hold lunch. I was very happy before, but then I didn’t dare. I tried many times without success. Now I finally turned around and met attorney Guo Qing’s The blessing, and it went smoothly. It turns out that not eating after lunch can cure stomach problems. We used to say no. My stomach is not good, so I can’t stop eating, right?

In fact, the opposite is true. You can help you treat stomach problems, gastrointestinal problems, and even your body if you don’t eat after lunch. Don’t be afraid to lose weight. Some people, oh, I’m thinner. This time, I’ve already stopped eating after lunch. It’s been twenty days. For the first week, I lost five kilograms in a row. I used to fast, sometimes for up to two and a half months. I didn’t eat anything. I’ve done everything before. I practiced Kungfu. It’s someone from here, don’t think I’m young, I’ve tried many things.

At that time, I fasted, every year, I have more than ten years of experience, at least once or twice a year, and the shortest time is ten days. The fasting was one kilogram a week before and a day, and now I don’t eat at lunchtime. It’s almost the same, but the body, this is my experience, the body, at first you just start to break, you will feel oh, or if you don’t eat after lunch, you will feel thin, but after a week, you will be balanced. worry.

Because you are detoxifying, you have accumulated too much. When it reaches a certain level, the body is a small universe, and it will balance itself, so don’t worry.It doesn't matter even if you are thin, you are dying, and you still care about whether you are thin or not, and walking lighter, isn't it better, right?There are a lot of worries, and there is no Dao Xin.

Really, unless there is no cause to tell you, or that your concept is wrong, the general worry is that it’s nothing to say, like I’ve tried several times before, I’m afraid that my stomach hurts again. Abdominal distension, but don’t be afraid, there are ways to treat it.In short, if you really want to cultivate, you don't want that body, and you still worry about things, but it's not justified.

(XNUMX) Nourishes the rituals

Attorney Guo Qing asked me to do this. I wanted to say, "No, because I really have a stomachache. I really can't do it. If I say no, what should I do if my stomach hurts again?"He said that for stomach pain, take stomach medicine. He said that this is the most basic, yes, we all know this, but at that time, I knew the blessings, oh, this monk asked me to do it, because I depended on it. He learns the law, he must do it, he can't just open the fate at will. There is a situation in the open fate, which is not just open.

Of course, I know it myself. Well, the time has come, the cause and destiny have arrived. We must continue to improve. The practice is based on precept, concentration, wisdom, faith and willingness, which happens to be the blessing power, because his kindness to me is too great for me. Don’t listen, it’s the master and the monk again, so I said yes, I said yes, I’ll take stomach medicine with my stomachache, and I’ve brought stomach medicine with me every day. Up to now, I haven’t taken it once in the past twenty days. It’s very smooth. I will talk about the details in the afternoon if I have time. If not, you can watch the CD if you have a chance.

Then we will recite the offering verses together. I will bring them, because they are not familiar with this tune. Then we will have someone out to eat. Then everyone will put their palms together and recite. Before the meal, after we finish the offering, before we have the meal, Everyone’s third bite, the third bite in front, three bites of rice, a little bit, the first bite, I meditate this in my heart, willing to cut all evil, second bite, willing to cultivate all good, third bite, vow to save all sentient beings Just read it silently by yourself.If you start to have a meal, you must make a vow even when you eat. The practice is in the Sangha, walking, staying, sitting and lying are all practicing, and they are all in harmony with our Dharma, this, walking, staying, sitting and lying.

"Provide the Pure Dharma Bodhisattva Buddhism, Sakyamuni Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha in tens of billions, Amitabha in the world of bliss, Maitreya Buddha in the next rebirth, all the Buddhas of the ten directions and three generations, the great wisdom of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Daxing Samantabhadra, Great Compassion Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Great Wishes Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva Mahasattva, Maha Prajna Prajna honey. Three virtues and six flavors, offerings and monks, there is love in the Dharma, universal offerings, if you eat, Let all sentient beings enjoy Zen joy as food and full of Dharma joy."

"Buddhist disciples, the five concepts of food storage, disperse words, believing is difficult to dispel, the public hears the happy voice, all righteous thoughts, Amitabha." Let everyone recite the five concepts of food storage together.

One, how much work is counted, and where the measure comes from,
Second, I think about one's own virtues, and they are all in need of offerings.
Third, prevent the heart from passing away, and greed is the sect.
Fourth, a good medicine for business, for the treatment of dryness,
Fifth, it is for enlightenment, and only suffer from this food.

Okay, please take your time.

============================

Everyone eats quickly. I just took a few bites. When I lifted my head, everyone ran away. Then I thought about it, maybe I went to the clean room. Thanks for your hard work. I didn’t move around all morning. It’s not bad. The performance It’s also very good. We have to go back now and have not eaten yet. If there are people who haven’t finished eating, continue to eat. You don’t have to follow the fast. Oh, if you follow the fast, you can’t continue eating after the fast. The rest of the dishes, so usually if you go to the past party, you are like this. You really can't finish it. Don't be nervous, eat slowly, and then after eating, you can recite the ten Buddha chants to stop the fast.Then, after I take you all to end the fast, you will make a small dedication.

"Sadoram, Sanshou Sanbodhuo, Jumeinan, Om, Zhelizhuli, Zhunti Saanhe. The so-called charity must reap the benefits. If it is a kindness, then it will have peace and good food. , We should hope that all living beings will do everything they do, and they will be sufficient in Buddhism."
