Photo of the induction after the feeding施食感应照片：施食后感应照片

Giving food is of great merit and great blessing. Buddha Shakyamuni said that anyone with a good heart can give food.

---- Zhuge Changqing

  Giving food, like releasing life and other good deeds, has great and incredible blessings.

  After learning how to give food, those who are fortunate enough can take some photos of themselves as a keepsake for study and reference.

  However, it is not recommended to take photos repeatedly. Specific instructions are as follows.

  I. Notes on taking photos for food giving.

  Zhuge Changqing advises you to pay attention to five points.

  Zhuge Changqing once explained in his Sina blog post "Note on Food Giving: Do not take photos repeatedly (picture)" that

  1. If you want to enhance your confidence at the beginning, you can take photos.

  Why? Because the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, the Dharma Protector and all the good deities know that your faith is lacking and decide to let you take pictures so that you can strengthen your faith, so everyone can take pictures. The miraculous thing is that even if the light is not good, part of the aperture will be photographed.

  2. Those who wish to promote Buddhism can take pictures.

  Remember, everyone, it is possible to take photos after giving food in order to verify the effect and to promote the Dharma.

  3、If you have nothing to do, do not take pictures over and over again.

  If you take photos for no reason, the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, the Gods of Dharma Protection and all good deities will not give you blessings.

  They think you are deliberately showing your merit and have pride and complacency, so you cannot take a picture.

  Zhuge Changqing gives you an example. You arrange for a hotel treat, and when the leaders and guests come, you say that you take a photo for a souvenir and everyone is happy. But you have nothing to do, every time you invite guests to take pictures, the leaders and guests will not be satisfied. Although not say, but not very happy.

  So remember, it is not recommended to repeatedly take.

  4. Don't take pictures repeatedly to show that you have merit and virtue.

  Teacher Zhuge Changqing has repeatedly said that taking photos is only to verify whether your food giving is effective and whether you are visited by the Buddha, the Bodhisattva, the Dharma Protector, all the good gods and living beings, not to show that you have great merit.

    5. Don't take photos for the sake of showing others, as Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, good deities and living beings are sometimes unwilling to do so. The reason is that Buddhism does not advocate the display of divine powers. It only advocates doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

  Photographs taken after giving food serve three main purposes.

  One is to keep it for oneself to see, to verify the effect of one's food giving and to strengthen one's faith.

  The second is to show them to those who believe in Buddhism and the Tao, to encourage them to give food and to strengthen their faith.

  Thirdly, post it on blogs, websites and Buddhist and Taoist forums to promote Buddhism and food-giving.

  Secondly, Zhuge Changqing suggests the following tips for photographing the food giving.

  Firstly, it is better to choose a time when there is night to take photos of the food giving.

  Secondly, ask Buddha and Bodhisattvas and good deities inwardly for blessing and ask for blessing to take the photo. Be respectful and humble inwardly.     

   Thirdly, it is best to have faint light on the opposite side for good effect. If it is a dark place, it is best to use a flash so that the effect is obvious.

  The above is for your reference. Of course, food giving is mainly about merit and having a normal mind.

  Today, "Red Lotus of Bodhi" and "Cloudy and Misty", who are students of Buddhism, have sent us photos of their food giving. We thank them for their dedication.

   Zhuge Changqing wishes all those who have the good fortune to honour their parents, do good deeds, give food and donate sutras for printing, great fortune and good fortune.

    Zhuge Changqing advises beginners to do the almsgiving in the following way.

   Firstly, read the food-giving ritual (written version) a few times. Familiarise yourself with the basic concepts, the basic content of the alms-giving.

   We suggest that you, copy or print it out for easy understanding.

   Those who are lucky enough to have a mobile phone can read it on their phones.

   Thirdly, watch the food-giving ritual a few times (video version). Formally begin the food giving ritual.

   Zhuge Changqing recommends that those who are lucky enough to be able to do so first watch the overall video a few times.

   Then focus on the "Part 3: Complete demonstration of Zhuge Changqing's 15-step food-giving ritual" and study it against it. Prepare to start giving the food.

   Zhuge Changqing teaches a quick way for those who wish to study the video on giving food ----

   Firstly, familiarise yourself with the video version of the almsgiving ritual.

   Secondly, focus on the third part of the almsgiving ritual video.

   Third, prepare your own cup, water and millet and place them on the table.

   Fourthly, play the "Part 3" food giving demonstration directly and simulate it for yourself.

   Fifthly, after a few simulations, you will soon learn how to give food.

 Namo Siddhartha Gautama, our teacher. Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Glazed Medicine Buddha of the East.

Namo Kuan Shi Yin Bodhisattva. Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Namo Vairocana Bodhisattva.

Blessed be Heavens of Immeasurable Life. Venerable Yuan Shi Tianzong. Lingbao Tianzong. Tao Teh Heavenly Father.
