The
Five Reflections
1.
This meal is the labour of countless beings. Let us accept this
offering with gratitude.
2. This meal is taken to strenghten
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 Dharma.
