take out a small amount then
recite the Food Transformation
Mantra or the Six Syllable Mantra (om
mani padme hum), and place the food
outside on a windowsill or underneath
a tree. The food can be eaten by birds,
ants, and wandering animals; it can also
become the liberation food for hungry

that make us feel that we are living in
a purified world. To be vegetarian is to
respect life, to live with compassion in
accordance with Mahayana Buddhism.
One who practices compassion leads
a life away from pressure and risk,
allowing happiness and propitiousness
to arise day and night. Having evergrowing
desires is analogous to a thirsty
man drinking up sea water. Instead
of quenching his thirst, the more sea
command oneself for the supreme
mental power, to go about doing good
deeds everyday, to care for people with
kindness and compassion everyday, if
every effort were made to carry these
exercises out, it would effect happiness
for this lifetime and the ensuing
lifetimes. The more impoverished one
is, the more one should practice giving.
Giving does not have to be in the form
of money. Offering water, incense, and
flowers to the Buddha then bestowing
them upon sentient beings are all very
good ways of giving. Avoid having the
每 次 在 您 煮 好 粥 , 做 好 米 飯 或 者 饅 頭 的
時 候 , 先 拿 出 一 點 來 , 念 變 食 咒 或 六 字 大 明
咒 , 放 在 窗 台 或 者 樓 下 的 樹 根 旁 , 小 鳥 、 螞
蟻 , 流 浪 的 動 物 可 以 吃 ; 也 可 成 為 餓 鬼 眾 生 的

的 因 , 或 投 生 於 三 惡 趣 的 因 。 這 完 全 取 決 於 我

心 。 無 論 我 們 在 社 會 上 從 事 任 何 工 作 , 都 應 該
以 真 心 與 人 相 待 ; 如 果 我 們 只 會 戴 著 假 面 具 ,
對 人 、 對 事 都 是 以 虛 偽 對 待 , 失 去 了 真 心 , 也
就 失 去 了 佛 性 。

or even cause for rebirth in the Three
Vile Realms (hell, ghostly, and animal
realms).This is completely up to what
arises from our minds.
What is Buddhist practice? In
fact, it’s a wholehearted mindset of
innocence, clarity, and heedfulness.
We should be wholehearted and
sincere in dealing with one another
regardless of whatsoever occupation
we hold in society. If we wear only a
deceitful mask, have a hypocritical
attitude in taking care of people and
water drank the worse he would suffer.
On the contrary, having attributes of
modesty and contentment is similar to
people attaining the mindset of ease
and grace. A state of no desires, no ifs
ands or buts, except blissful relaxation
and happiness forever.
Everyone is the engineer of their
own life, the engraver of their own
appearance, and the master of their
own fate. If you want to be happier,
please bring happiness to others and
the world with your best efforts. To
misconception of “I’ll start giving when
I have money”, which will actually
decrease our blessings. Saving and
liberating life are good deeds which
most directly benefit living beings. The
Buddhist Service of Compassionate
Food Bestowal, by invoking wondrous
Dharma and supreme mantras, protects
and saves all formless beings mired in
the lower three realms. This method,
along with protecting and saving lives,
are very direct ways of benefiting both
formed and formless beings.
心 的 人 , 他 的 生 活 必 然 能 夠 遠 離 緊 張 與 危 險 ,
晝 夜 六 時 恆 常 吉 祥 。 欲 望 越 多 , 就 像 口 渴 的
人 , 還 在 喝 海 水 一 樣 , 非 但 解 不 了 渴 , 反 而 會
越 喝 越 難 受 。 相 反 的 , 少 欲 知 足 的 人 , 就 像 擁
有 一 顆 輕 盈 自 在 的 心 靈 , 不 受 欲 望 的 拘 束 ,
永 遠 輕 鬆 快 樂 。 每 個 人 都 是 自 己 生 命 的 工 程
師 , 都 是 自 己 外 表 的 雕 刻 師 , 都 是 自 己 命 運 的
主 人 , 如 果 希 望 自 己 過 得 更 快 樂 , 那 就 努 力 的
製 造 快 樂 給 別 人 、 給 世 界 吧 ! 掌 握 自 己 的 心 在
最 好 的 狀 態 , 每 一 天 都 做 好 事 , 每 一 天 都 慈
悲 , 如 果 努 力 去 實 踐 , 這 一 輩 子 快 樂 、 來 生 也
快 樂 。 越 貧 窮 越 要 布 施 , 布 施 不 光 是 錢 而 已 ,
用 水 、 香 、 花 等 等 供 佛 、 下 施 眾 生 , 這 也 是 非
