偈讚

密咒加持淨法食
普施河沙有情眾
願皆飽滿捨慳貪
速脫幽冥生淨土
念佛皈依發菩提
究竟得成無上道
功德無邊盡未來
一切有情同法食

置食淨處(但不得瀉於石榴桃樹之下)


回向

汝等有情眾
我今施于汝
此食遍法界
一切有情共
願以此功德
普及於群生
施者受食者
皆共成佛道

This Mantra-blessed food is given
To those numberless sentient beings.
May all be satisfied without lust.
Be quickly freed from hell
And get good rebirth in the Pure Land.
While repeating Buddha's Name
Take refuge in the three Gems and develop Bodhicitta,
Finally attain the Supreme Path and get the Endless Merit.
May every sentient being share the Dharma food.

Place the food on a pure place. (Do not put on a peach or pomegranate tree).


Turn the merit to all beings

To you, all sentient beings
This food I give in offering.
May it fill the universe,
Each being received a share.
May this little merit be turned to all sentient beings.
May all who take it attain Buddha's full Enlightenment.
