Food Giving Sensation: Dreaming of small children in the mountains wanting to eat millet and rice施食感应：梦到山里小孩子想吃小米饭

Giving food is said by Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha, who said that all those who have a good heart can give food.

---- Zhuge Changqing

  Giving food, like releasing life, moves heaven and earth with great merit and blessing.

   Giving food continuously can dissolve karmic obstacles, overtake debtors and save living beings, which is a great blessing and great merit.

  Giving food is simple and convenient, a cup of water, some rice, a ritual and a clean and spacious place are all that is needed to do it.

  Anyone who gives food is advised to follow the rituals. 

  For those who are fortunate enough to do so, please refer to Zhuge Changqing's Sina blog for the food-giving rituals.

  A Buddhist food giver, "A Faint Smile", reads the blog post "Food Giving: She Dreams of Someone Reminding Her to Learn Food Giving (Photo)" on Zhuge Changqing's Sina blog and leaves a comment about her food giving experience.

Hello, Mr. Zhuge Changqing.

  Amitabha Buddha.

  Hello compassionate teacher Zhuge, please take the trouble to enlighten me on the following matters.

  On April 18, 2013, I had a dream that I was alone on the slope above the water bubbles and at every step I saw dead fish and other dead animals, I was surprised and thought to myself how many dead fish and other dead animals there were. I forgot all about the rest of the dream. I have not yet invoked the rivers, lakes, seas and alien beings as you have explained in your blog, is it a sign that I should?

   On the evening of 19 April 2013, I was doing a food offering and followed your ritual to invite rivers, lakes, seas and aliens.

  When I arrived home to clean up after reciting the mantra, the small cup I had put the rice in was knocked over and spilled all over the table where I had made the food.

  I wondered if there was not enough rice to feed the living beings in the house and they were not fed.

  At night I dreamt that many people were listening to a female teacher and two of my classmates came with their children to listen to the lecture.

  I didn't dare to include "Inviting the rivers and streams ....." in my almsgiving the next day because I was worried that my ungrateful relatives would not be able to eat. The next day I didn't dare to add "Inviting the River and the River". The next few days I added it again, I was reciting the 10 food and nectar words, can I get more food if I recite them more times? But in my heart I am always worried that my wrongdoers will not be able to eat because of the lack of food, will this happen?

  On the night of April 24, 2013, I had a dream that a small child was hungry in a firewood nest on a mountain. His mother used a thin branch of firewood from the mountain and put it in a bowl and soaked it in water and gave it to the child, but the child did not eat it and said he wanted to wait for something delicious like millet rice.

  I followed your food ritual and added "Invite the river and the river ...... I don't feel uncomfortable. Can I continue to follow your rituals and invoke the "River and River ...... Can I continue to invoke the "River and River"?

  I would like to ask another question: Can I read the Earth Store Sutra specifically for my child and return it to my wrongdoers? If I have to do so, do I have to pray to my relatives first and then to my child?   Thank you, teacher!

               A Buddhist food giver "smiles lightly"

Teacher Zhuge Changqing replied.

  Amitabha Buddha.

  You are doing very well, keep up the good work.

  I was surprised to see dead fish and other dead animals at every step I took, and I thought, "Why are there so many dead fish and other dead animals? I forgot all about the rest of the dream. I have not yet invoked the rivers, lakes and seas and extraterrestrial beings as you have explained in your blog, is it a sign that I should do so?

  Zhuge Changqing: It is an omen that there are beings who need your food and transcendence. The invocation of dead fish etc. in dreams, as well as the invocation of river, lake and sea beings and extraterrestrial beings to participate in the almsgiving, is usually sufficient for 20 days.

  I opened my eyes and threw rice and water into the sky according to the ritual.

  Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. It was very good, the omen was that you had successfully rescued them by giving food, they were thanking you and giving you inspiration.

  [3] When I got home and finished reciting the mantra, I packed up my things, and the small cup I had put the rice in snapped and spilled it all over the dining table where I was making the alms. I wondered if there was not enough rice to feed the living beings in the house and they were not fed.    Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. This is an omen that you have unjust relatives in your body who are anxious and they need your repentance before they will go. Because you have not repented, you are not happy and knock over your cup to give you inspiration. Just repent and invoke the wrongdoer who knocked over the cup.

  [4] At night I dreamt that many people were listening to a female teacher and two of my classmates came with their children to listen to the lesson.

  Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. This is to remind you to continue to study and refine and learn more about the basics of Buddhism and Taoism.

  [5] I recited the food and nectar words 10 times, can I recite them more times to produce more food?

  Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. If you follow the rituals, you can do it. If you don't have enough faith, you can chant more. It is possible to recite 10 times.

  Last night, I had a dream that a child was hungry in a woodshed on a mountain. His mother used a thin branch of firewood from the mountain and put it in a bowl and soaked it in water and gave it to the child to eat, but the child did not eat it and said he wanted to wait for something tasty like millet rice.

  Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. It's your tired clansmen who need to give food to help. They are still in the three evil paths of the hungry ghosts and are in dire need of your food.

  That little child wants millet and rice to eat = wants almsgiving food = needs your almsgiving food for transcendence.

  In your alms giving, just call back to them.

  [7] Follow your ritual and add "invoke the rivers and streams ..... I don't feel unwell. Can I continue to follow your rituals and invoke the "River and River ...... aliens"?

  Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. Yes, it means that you have the energy to invoke food. It's enough to invoke the rivers, lakes, sea creatures and aliens for 20 days.

  [8] Can I read the Earth Store Sutra for my child and give it back to my wrongdoers?

   Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. It must go back to yours first, and then to your child, otherwise your wrongdoer will be very angry. See the teacher's Sina blog post on how to recite sutras, how to recite the Earth Store Sutra, etc. for details.

  [9] You are a beginner, read more about the basics of Buddhism and Taoism, and read more of your teacher's blog posts on enlightened wisdom.

  Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will bring you blessings.

  You are doing very well. Keep your faith and persevere, and go for it.

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

    Zhuge Changqing suggests that beginners can do the following.

   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.

   http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_49e5f6df0102uxvu.html

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

   http://new-play.tudou.com/v/581455831.html?

   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.

What are the acts of abstaining from killing and releasing

 戒杀与放生的行为包括哪些

 1. Do not kill a living being with your own hands.

　　2. Do not abet others to kill.

　　3. Do not help others to kill.

　　4. Abstain from eating meat.

　　5. Do not engage in trades related to killing.

　　6、Whenever there is worship, regardless of what is being worshipped, use vegetarian dishes, flowers and fruit, not animal gifts.

　　7. If you see someone killing a human being, you should discourage them or buy the animal to be slaughtered with money and release it. If this does not work, or if the person does not sell the animal, then you should have compassion for the slaughtered animal, and even better if you can recite the Buddha's name or mantra for it.

　　8. Do not abuse the animal.
