Before eating

Posted on September 15, 2012 by

Reflect on the effort that brought you this food.

Consider whether your merit and virtue are worthy of this effort.

Regard desire as an obstacle to liberation.

Look upon this meal as a means to sustain life.

Accept this food for the benefit of all.
