Food Giving Question: Why is there still discomfort in giving food to Buddhists?

施食疑问：学佛施食为何还有不顺？

Give food for the superlative, in accordance with the rituals. This is effective.

...... Zhuge Changqing

Learning to practise Buddhism requires faith and perseverance.

To learn how to give food, you need to follow the rituals of giving food.

Zhuge Changqing has written many such articles in the past.

Recently, a student, Zhi, who is a fan of traditional Chinese culture, asked another induction question, so here is the answer.

Zhi asked: I am a Buddhist practitioner and I do smoke offerings, but why do I still have so many problems?

Teacher Zhuge Changqing answered.

Amitabha Buddha. Blessed be the Infinite Sky.

Don't worry, everything is cause and effect, and everything will get better and better.

The teacher will help you to analyse your problem, and you should pay attention to three points.

Firstly, food giving should be in accordance with the rituals.

Many people do almsgiving and just find a random content and do it, not knowing how to invite and how to return, which leads to defaults.

Do you analyse whether your food-giving rituals are those of Zhuge Changqing's teacher?

Did you just find a random ritual to do?

Did you use Mr. Zhuge Changqing's rituals for your smoke offering?

Is your smoke offering powder real?

Did you follow the food offering rituals carefully?

Did you carefully invoke the invocation?

This is all very important.

Secondly, everything is cause and effect.

Everyone has different karma in this life, and the consequences are different, so you have to reflect on your own and your family's sins.

If you are a beginner, Zhuge Changqing suggests that you read more of the classics such as "The Book of the Induction of the Supreme Being", "The Record of the Encounter of Lord Yu Jing Yi with the God of Zao", "The Earth Store Sutra" and "The Vajra Sutra", from which you will gain a lot of insight.

For example, if you have harmed human animals or destroyed good deeds in your family, you will be rewarded in this life.

For example, when Buddha Shakyamuni hit a fish on the head with a wooden stick when he was a child, he suffered three headaches during his nirvana.

For example, a friend of Zhuge Changqing killed a snake when he was 12 years old, but he had a car accident when he was 26 years old and running early in the morning.

Fortunately, his ancestors had done good deeds before he survived nine deaths. Later, he continued to do good deeds and accumulated virtue, and is now living a happy life.

So, don't be anxious when you encounter problems, just take your time to analyse the causes and consequences, repent seriously and make more merits to return.

Thirdly, keep on improving.

Zhuge Changqing said: "Practice is like climbing a mountain, it requires a strong will. Faith plus perseverance will bring you a beautiful view.

The Buddha, who practised for 12 years and attained enlightenment and taught for 49 years, is an example for us to follow.

It is not easy for us to work and live in the red world, but we also need to teach and benefit from the Dharma.

However, it is precisely because it is not easy that we need to work harder.

As Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen said, "The Buddha's teachings are in the world, but not apart from worldly awareness; to seek Bodhi apart from the world is like seeking the horn of a rabbit."

Practising requires faith, patience and perseverance.

You must work hard, and since you have chosen to study traditional Chinese culture you must continue to refine it.

Teacher Zhuge Changqing has a "Five in One (repentance, food giving, life release, chanting and vegetarianism)" and "Three Golden Keys to Changing Your Destiny", which you can search and compare and do carefully.

In addition, if you are a beginner, Zhuge Changqing has written many articles on studying Buddhism, which you can read by searching the blogs and microblogs.

At the same time, read more classics such as "The Book of the Induction of the Supreme Being", "The Record of the Encounter of Lord Yu Jing Yi with the God of Zao", "The Earth Store Sutra", "The Vajra Sutra", "The Heart Sutra", "The Tao Te Ching", etc., and keep improving yourself.

施食超度，要符合仪轨。这样效果好。

……诸葛长青

学佛修行，需要信心恒心。

学做施食，要符合施食仪轨。

诸葛长青以前写过很多这样文章。

近日，一位国学传统文化爱好者“志”同学又提出感应问题，这里做一下回答。

志同学问：我学佛修行，也做烟供施食，请问为何还有很多不顺？

诸葛长青老师解答：

阿弥陀佛。福生无量天尊。

志同学你好，别着急，一切都是因果，一切都会越来越好。

对你说的不顺呢，老师帮你分析一下，你注意三点。

第一、施食要符合仪轨。

很多人做施食，随便找了个内容就做，不知道如何招请如何回向，导致出现违缘。

你分析一下，你的施食仪轨是诸葛长青老师的吗？

是否随便找了仪轨去做？

你的烟供用诸葛长青老师仪轨了吗？

你的烟供粉是真的吗？

你认真按照施食仪轨做吗？

你认真招请回向了吗？

这都是很重要的。

第二、一切都是因果。

每个人累世此生因果不同，果报不同，这个要认真反思自己和家族罪业。

你是初学者，诸葛长青建议你多看《太上感应篇》《俞净意公遇灶神记》《地藏经》《金刚经》等经典，从中你会顿悟很多。

譬如，家族里累世伤害过人类动物，破坏过别人好事等，此生就会经受对应果报。

譬如：佛祖释迦牟尼佛，累劫小时候曾用木棒打过鱼头，涅槃时，自己头疼三下。

譬如：诸葛长青一位朋友，12岁时候打死过蛇，结果26岁清晨跑步就出了车祸，

幸亏祖辈做过好事，才九死一生，后来他持续行善积德，现在过得很幸福。

所以，遇到问题别着急，慢慢分析因果，认真忏悔多做功德回向就好了。

第三、持续精进。

诸葛长青说过：修行如爬山，需要意志坚。信心加恒心，美景现眼前。

佛祖修行12年顿悟，弘法49年涅槃，是我们学习的榜样。

我们在红尘，需要工作生活，有需要弘法利生，真的不容易。

但是，正是不容易，才需要我们更加努力。

就像禅宗六祖慧能大师所说“佛法在世间，不离世间觉，离世觅菩提，恰如求兔角。”

修行需要信心、耐心、恒心。

你要好好努力，既然选择了学习国学传统文化就要持续精进。

诸葛长青老师有一个“五合一（忏悔，施食，放生，念诵，吃素）”，“改命运三把金钥匙”，你可以搜索对照认真去做。

此外，你是初学者，诸葛长青老师写过很多学佛文章，你可以搜索博客微博公众号观看，

同时多看《太上感应篇》《俞净意公遇灶神记》《地藏经》《金刚经》《心经》《道德经》等经典，不断提升自己。
