The Dharma Master Xuecheng is not only an eminent monk with great virtue and is proficient in Buddhism, but also organizes to spread the Dharma and give food in person.

Zhuge Changqing: We are grateful to Dharma Master Xuecheng and other monks for promoting Dharma and benefiting life. Be grateful to all Bodhisattvas in the world who promote Dharma and give food.

Share the teachings of Master Xuecheng on giving food:

For giving food, Dharma Master Xuecheng said that there are three purposes of giving food:

First, to repay the kindness: because the six sentient beings have always been with us from the beginning, they can't bear to see them suffering in the evil way, so they give food to save them.

Second, in order to be vigilant, this method of giving food will remind us of the suffering of the three evil ways. We should be vigilant about our thoughts, words and deeds, and not create evil karma to avoid sinking.

Third, in order to practice the Bodhisattva Way, Mengshan almsgiving is to use the power of Buddha, Dharma and Monk to make all six sentient beings come here to listen to the scriptures, hear the Dharma, repent, grow the good roots, and achieve the Buddha Way.

There are many merits in giving food. For example, according to the Sutra on the Difference of Karma between the Elderly and the First Buddha, giving food has ten merits: getting life; Get color; Effective; It is safe to argue; Have nothing to fear; Without any slack, we are respected by all; Everyone loves music; Have great fortune; Life is a lifetime; Nirvana can be achieved quickly.

Some beginners want to learn to give food quickly, but do not know how to do it.

Zhuge Changqing suggested that beginners can do this:

First, read the ritual of giving food several times (written version). Be familiar with the basic concepts and contents of feeding;

It is suggested that you copy or print it for easy understanding.

Those with mobile phones can watch it on their mobile phones.

The second is to focus on the third part of the ritual video.

Third, prepare the cup, water and millet and put them on the table.

The fourth is to play the "third part" feeding demonstration directly and simulate by yourself.

阿弥陀佛。持续施食，就是行菩萨道，就是代表佛菩萨人间度化众生。

----- 诸葛长青

   阿弥陀佛。

   福生无量天尊。

   施食，是世尊释迦牟尼佛亲自开示。出家人、在家人都可以施食。

   学诚法师，中国佛教协会驻会副会长、全国政协常委、全国青联副主席、中国宗教界和平委员会秘书长。

   学诚法师不仅弘扬佛法无私奉献，而且也亲自示范施食。度化无量众生。

   学诚法师，1982于莆田广化寺定海长老座下剃度，并依止圆拙老法师修学。1991年于中国佛学院获硕士学位。2007年获授泰国朱拉隆功佛教大学教育学荣誉博士学位。2010年获孟加拉国阿底峡大师和平金奖。

   学诚法师，现任全国政协常委、全国青联副主席、中央国家机关青联副主席、中国宗教界和平委员会秘书长、中国佛教协会驻会副会长、中国佛学院副院长、藏传佛教学衔工作指导委员会副主任、福建省佛教协会会长、福建佛学院院长、福建莆田广化寺方丈、陕西扶风法门寺方丈、北京龙泉寺方丈、香港佛教文化产业荣誉顾问、《法音》主编、《福建佛教》主编等职务。在祖母和母亲的影响带动下，12岁的他就翻起了佛经。

     学诚法师不仅是高僧大德，精通佛法，还亲自组织弘法、施食等。

   诸葛长青：我们感恩学诚法师等出家师弘法利生。感恩天下所有弘法施食的菩萨。

   分享学诚法师对施食的开示：
   对于施食，学诚法师开示说，施食的目的有三个：

   其一，为报恩：因六道众生从无始劫来常与我们互为六情眷属，不忍心看到他们在恶道受苦，所以施食来救度他们。

   其二，为警惕的意思，籍此施食法会令我们想到三途恶道的苦楚，警惕自己的起心动念、言行举止，不造恶业，以免沉沦。

   其三，为行菩萨道，蒙山施食就是期以大悲心，籍佛、法、僧的力量，使六道众生都可以来这里听经、闻法、忏悔，增长善根，共成佛道。
   施食有很多功德，如《佛为首迦长者说业报差别经》载，奉施饮食得十种功德：得命；得色；得力；得安稳无碍辩；得无所畏；无诸懈怠，为众敬仰；众人爱乐；具大福报；命终生天；速证涅槃。

   有些初学者，想迅速学会施食，不知道如何去做。

   诸葛长青建议初学者可以这样做：

   一是看几遍施食仪轨（文字版本）。熟悉施食基本概念、基本内容；

     建议大家，抄写或者打印出来，便于了解。

   有手机的有缘者可以在手机上看。
