If you eat like this every day, you are called a gentleman with bodhicitta. If you do it for seven days in a row, all obstacles will be removed. If someone in your family is sick,
Do two seven days, fourteen days, no matter how serious the disease is, there are ways to eliminate it. Why? Because you give food and water, it gets food and water. Look how happy and healthy it has become. This kind of big food giving is a great blessing, so the Buddha will say: You can get the blessing of 500 robbers by rewarding the Buddha with food, but you give him a curse with seven grains of rice, a loaf of bread and a noodle. Why? Ghosts and gods are extremely bitter.
The Buddha said: You originally prepared this food for the Buddha today, but a hungry wild dog came and gave it to the dog first. The Buddha said that the merit of giving dog food exceeds the merit of supporting the Buddha. Why? Compassion. So what we are going to talk about in this class is charity giving and charity feeding for hungry ghosts.
What benefits can a hungry ghost get from giving? The Buddha is talking about self-interest and altruism. You are actually helping yourself by helping others. Speaking of which, someone told me, Master, if you give a ghost, will it often come to me? Ladies and gentlemen, don't think like this. Even I sometimes give a saying to a master, a monk,
Although you are here, you should give. He said: no, you should give food every day, and if you don't give food every day, then don't give food at all. Ladies and gentlemen, this concept is wrong. One day at a time. Two days is two days. Food is better than nothing. We can't make excuses.
So as long as there is water, a few grains of rice, a bowl of porridge, or even a bowl of milk and soy milk, you can make a big difference and become attached to all beings. How happy you are.
Then let's look at the first handout: the benefits for hungry ghosts.
First, ghosts do good deeds. For example, we will cook Mengshan food later. If Mengshan runs out of food, ghosts won't go back to being ghosts immediately. When the ghost is full,
With the blessing of Buddha's power, Heaven is born immediately. So the feeding in Mengshan today has become a happy day for ghosts, and millions of ghosts are here today.
Because our merits are born in heaven, you can see that the Fire Fighting Classic says:
"After eating this food, I know everything is full." After we gave it food, the hunger of these ghosts for thousands of years stopped, and they were all full.
"Hungry ghost, etc. , care about ghosts. " The ghosts we invited today, even those who have gone to hell, are all born in heaven, except ghosts and suffering. You said you were happy or unhappy. The caterer will always support you. In fact, these good gods have played tricks in the past, because they eat life. Now they think:
That's why I've been protecting you. It's called satisfying giving paramita.
So, ladies and gentlemen, if your eyes have magical power to see, you don't know how happy you are.
Hundreds of millions of ghosts are full of food, all born in heaven. Even from today, there will be people delivering meals. All the gods are protecting you, and that confidence will never fade.
Some people say, master, what if there are no bodhisattvas, buddhas and arhats? As long as there is a Buddha statue, you should cross your hands before eating: offering Buddha, dharma and monk. 500 people are robbed every day. But if you give it to a hungry ghost, this person will get Bodhi immediately.
Is the bodhi son, can obtain infinite immortality.
Mahayana Buddhism gives food every day, while Tantric Buddhism gives food and fire every day.
Secondly, the Book for the Hungry Ghost says that if a husband wants to give food to the hungry ghost, he must first show broad compassion and invite the hungry ghost.
Come on, let's read it three times. We have more time to read it seven times. The more you ask, the more you ask:
Pu Zhao asked the truth: There are many things in the south, such as Dili, Cheridoli and Danta. Read it three times.
Once I passed the Mother Niang Temple, which was very lively. Many people were treating me, so I went in. I told a believer that you should buy a lunch. I put it in Niangniang Temple and took a can of coke. They asked me, master, do you believe this? I said, "come and worship your mother. I want to give her charity." My mother is like a ghost's mother and a ghost's queen mother. After reading the food curse, I said Hualien, I want to come here to preach the Dharma.
Things will be settled soon. It depends on whether you want a school, a prison or an education center. Everything is settled. Ladies and gentlemen, your mother is the boss of Hualien. Don't look down on ghosts and gods. You can feel it immediately if you support it. Therefore, you should first show great sympathy for it. Don't look down on ghosts, summon the earth god. Because we are here today, we will visit the owner of the foundation, the local prince and the city god later. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be afraid, because the ghost who eats doesn't even dare to look at you when he sees you. It is too late to thank you. So when I have time, I will give food, a glass of water and some food. It's good to sleep every day, not only to sleep well, but also to get what I want. These ghosts and heaven are your protectors.
You give food, but also respect these ghosts. Don't say dirty, just pack it and throw it away, so, third, clean the utensils.
It is said in "The Taste of Manna" that if people want to give food to their consumers, we should respect it with the best things. Because Ghost Dao is poor, we washed all the utensils. If you give a ghost knife, you must prepare it cleanly and beautifully.
Four Tathagata names, plus food and hungry ghosts, can have unlimited blessings. Prolonged life, enhanced color strength and good hair roots.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Buddha talked about three benefits of giving: longevity, good looks, and some kindness is white, ugly and weak. If you give food from today, your face will become rosy, your body will become strong and even your heart will disappear. What is a bad root? What is greed? Charity, compassion and pure heart are called good roots. You often give food like this. Good roots are getting more and more perfect. So we can do it at home and become monks. These spells are short. Many treasures help ghosts get rid of greed and get good results. If you see a ghost here now, I'm afraid you can't accept it. It's ugly and you will come to the scene. If you read the wonderful body, these ghosts will look good immediately, and everyone is not afraid.
After reading it, they are not afraid, and they can only come in without fear.
Therefore, chanting incantations, chanting four Tathagata names, and giving food to the hungry ghosts, can lead to boundless blessings. What three kinds?
Life expectancy has been extended, so you are not only for yourself, for your parents and for your children.
Once, a believer gave birth to a child and said, "Master, I gave birth to a child. Please help me hold a merit meeting." I said, "OK, I will cook in Mengshan at night." He said, "Master, my son is not dead, but just born." I said, "You don't know, your son was just born, and I cooked food for him in Mengshan.
He will live a long, tall and healthy life and give alms to hungry ghosts for him. Most people think it's for the dead, but in fact, ladies and gentlemen, the living are more important. The living should live in this world and be healthy.
Say incantations, say four Tathagata to bless food, and give alms to hungry ghosts, and you will get infinite blessings. What three kinds? Longevity, color power and good hair roots. Not only that, but also more. You are going to open a vegetarian restaurant today. How can there be no business? You open this factory today, why is there not much business? Do you want to believe it? As we all know in China, we worship the land god on the 15th day of the first month and join the army on the 26th day of the first month to see if business will be better. It doesn't matter if you do it, but you will do it. To these miserable ghosts. Do you think it will help you? Business will come soon. The other day, an old Bini told me that no one wanted to put down our ancient pagoda, and he had no money. He complained to me that no one had come to put it in his tower. I'm telling you, if you like, make a fire, cook food, give it back to the hungry ghost and give it back to the tower. Ladies and gentlemen, this is very convenient. A monk should not be greedy for money, but give her confidence. If he does this often, he will have confidence.
Go on, except for all kinds of diseases "Another method is repeated. If a person is seriously ill and has a ghost disease, he will be regarded as three kinds of flour porridge and cursed seven times. If they are in the wilderness, their pain will be cured. If someone is seriously ill recently and needs surgery, they will get cancer and ghost disease, but it will be very painful and simple. Starting tomorrow,
Sixth, limit the number of days. You will change in a period of time, which is called the day limit.
The "Manna Sutra" says: If there is a felony and bad karma, it is difficult to get rid of it. Every day, curse the milk porridge to help the hungry ghost for seven days, and all evils will be eliminated. The porridge and milk you drink every day are called milk porridge.
Seventh, someone asked me, do cannibals come to my house every day? I won't be at home tomorrow. What if I can't feed? Guys, ghosts will never bother you. All non-human evil spirits,
Dare not invade. Because you are the giver, ghosts and gods will never hurt you. No matter where you go, you recite the Mana curse, change the food curse, and God will bless you. You often say this spell, and your appearance begins to look good. Wade has a good memory.
All non-human beings, including ghosts that can harm people, are afraid of you, and dare not show you when they see you and respect you. People who often deliver meals will never meet ghosts, and ghosts will never interfere with you.
Eighth, feed in the shade and pour on a clean stone less than three feet. You can't feed under a big house, a peach tree, a pomegranate tree or a willow tree, because this is a peach tree and a ghost king. Pomegranate trees live in cinnamon trees, and willow trees dare not bend over (Guanyin Bodhisattva's bottle is willow branches). The other children are afraid to come over.
