Five Reflections on Food

1. This meal is the labour of countless beings. Let us accept this offering with gratitude.

2. This meal is taken to strengthen our exertions, for greed and opinion are strong. Let us deserve this offering.

3. This meal is taken to help us become clear and generous. Let us pay attention.

4. This meal is taken to nourish and sustain our practice. Let us be moderate.

5. This meal is taken to help all beings attain the Buddha Way. Let us practice wholeheartedly.

This meal is finished.

Our strength is restored for us to teach the Dhamma.
