Giving food to the senses: dreams of Buddha and Bodhisattva saving, big snakes scolding and ghosts catching施食感应：梦到佛菩萨救、大蛇骂、鬼差抓

Giving food was enlightened by Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha himself. The Buddha said that all those who have a good heart can give food.

----- Zhuge Changqing

   Good fortune comes from doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. 

  Giving food can help living beings, dissolve karmic obstacles, overtake debtors, eliminate sins, remove disasters in hell and realise good fortune.

  To honour one's parents, to abstain from killing and releasing living beings, to give food, to eat vegetarian food, to do good deeds, to help beggars, to build roads and bridges, to donate blood, to visit homes for the elderly, to bury animal carcasses, etc. are all acts of good deeds with great and miraculous blessings.

  The practice of giving food was initiated by Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha himself.

  Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha said that whether one is a monk or a home-maker, one can give food if one has a good heart.

  As long as one gives food consistently, one will have great blessings.

  According to Zhuge Changqing, as long as you have a good heart and great compassion, you might as well do more food giving.

  Giving food, which is also releasing life, is also very simple. All you need is a cup of water, some rice and a clean place to throw it out by reciting the rituals, and you can witness a miracle.

  Zhuge Changqing: Practice has shown that if you follow the rituals carefully, you will be able to get a miraculous result.

  In order to give food, one must follow the rituals, meet the conditions for giving food, and add the Great Buddha Mighty Vajra Mantra at the end.

  A kindred spirit who has been doing good deeds and releasing food for charity, "Mo Forget Mo Forget", left a message on Mr. Zhuge Changqing's Sina blog saying

Hello, Mr. Zhuge Changqing.

  Amitabha Buddha.

  I have been doing this for a long time, and I think the small square in my town is quite suitable, with many trees and green areas. I did one last night, reciting the ritual at home. Then I went out and splashed it out, and afterwards I chanted silently to the Earth Store statue in my house, asking the Bodhisattva to give some joyful hints in my dream if the food is as it should be, and some scary hints if it is not.

  I am too timid and afraid of the dark to ask for any inspiration. I saw a simple picture of hell in a haunted house when I was a child, and I couldn't stop being scared and crying when I saw it, and every time my mother covered my eyes and carried me away.

  1、Three times I woke up half asleep with a shadow on my body, I used to get better when I chanted the Buddha's name, but yesterday it didn't help, I woke up struggling every time.

  2. In the dream, a snake was on my leg and a man helped me take it out, but after a long time, the snake didn't work, it burrowed in, so he sent me to an old lady who took a tool to make a hole in my leg, grabbed the snake's head and pulled it out, then gave me an anti-inflammatory to put on the wound, the snake came out and turned into a man who admonished me. Anyway, that was probably what it meant. I was so ashamed to face this man, I felt very strongly ashamed. I subconsciously knew that the place was dangerous and I should not go anywhere, but the snake man made me feel ashamed, so I went out on my own. I was very scared, they were the same image of piglets as me, eating, and the meat on their faces started to fall off, not very disgusting, but also very scary, a moment later the scene changed, like a temple, whose statue was offered inside, I don't know, the one who invited me to dinner was the two statues at the door, the temple was very dilapidated, the two statues gave me the feeling like paper people, but it was black, very broken and worn.

  4. I was taken again, still the same piglet as me, the two of them dragged me to the frying pan, but in my dream it seemed like boiling water, and what looked like a fountain, the two of them dragged me there, I was very scared, but the water did not hurt when it reached my body, then my soul came back to myself, it was the old woman who helped me catch the snake who beckoned me back, she kept my body, the man and the old woman gave me a very good feeling, I knew they would protect me.

  5. The scene had changed, I walked with my daughter to the small square where I was giving food, there were many people, choreographing some kind of programme, so I carried my daughter to see, many big flowery faces singing opera were skating, it was very joyful.

  Teacher, what tips did I get from the Bodhisattva about whether my food giving was legal or not?

  6. By the way I saw the shadow of a snake running like me after I finished giving food.

  7. Also, all the merits of my release were given back to the suffering beings in hell and to the poor babies, but not to my own unjust relatives, does it matter?

              One of the benefactors of the food release, "Mo forget, Mo forget"    

Teacher Zhuge Changqing answered.

  Amitabha Buddha.

   You are doing very well and your dream is also very good. Have faith and persevere.

  The answers to your questions are as follows.

   1. I gave 7 grains of rice for the first time last night after this year's New Year .......

  ---- Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. You are doing very well, as long as it is in line with the rituals, go ahead and do it boldly, with firm faith and perseverance. It is fine to do fire offerings and food giving. If you are busy with time, you can just do almsgiving (almsgiving is simple and convenient). If time is not tight, you can do both.

   2, timid small, afraid of the dark, giving food to now are afraid to seek what induction ...... in short is timid sensitive it.

  ---- Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. The reason why you are timid is because you have karma and sin in your life, it doesn't matter, repent more, give food, let go of life, recite the Buddha's name and eat vegetarian. You will have more courage in the future. Have faith and persevere.

    3、Three times I woke up half asleep with shadows weighing me down ........ I woke up struggling every time

  ---- Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. This is your unjust debtors coming to your door to collect their debts and need you to pay them. Just give food to summon the unjust relatives of the ghost presser and return the blessing.

  Remember, whenever there is a return, you must return to your own debtors first, then others, otherwise you will be punished by them. Remember! Remember!

    4. In my dream a snake was on my leg ...... shouting reprimands at you ---- a man, an old woman to save you ...... The temple was very dilapidated and the two statues gave me the impression that they were like paper-tied people, but they were black and very worn and torn.

   ---- Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. This is the memory of your tired life, that snake and you, tired life was once a temple monk, he is your senior brother, you are the senior brother.

  You spent the money gathered by your brother and the merit money donated by all sentient beings, not on temple construction, statue remodelling, or the promotion of the Dharma, but spent it carelessly, resulting in both your brother and you suffering retribution, and because of your deep sinfulness, your brother was reincarnated as a snake and you were reincarnated as a pig.

  He was reincarnated as a snake, due to a part of your sinful karma, and was so angry that he turned into a snake to seek revenge on you, and after his death, stayed attached to you, ready to seek revenge on you and ready to give you frustration.

  The two people you ate with were donating Gurus (now ghosts of hell) who have been tracking you. As you have continued to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in this life, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and Dharma protectors have come to your rescue.

  That man is Guanyin Bodhisattva in disguise, who alone saved you and came to help you dissolve your debtors.

  That old lady is the Eastern Glazed Medicine Buddha changing to come to your rescue specifically to help you dissolve your debtors.

  The Buddha and Bodhisattvas are transformed to save you, and this is the induction of your release of life and food giving and good deeds.

  Therefore, Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha himself said that if you keep on giving food and releasing life, you will be blessed by Buddha and Bodhisattvas, which is true. This is also what gives you confidence. Keep up the good work.

  Of course, although the Buddha and Bodhisattva have intervened, because you have done something wrong to your brother, done something wrong to the temple, done something that affects your brother's sinful karma, that snake (your brother) has the right to reprimand you and the right to collect the debt from you.

  You need to repent deeply and return to that snake to leave suffering and be immediately reborn.

    4, You were taken away again and the two of them dragged me to the frying pan ....... The man and the old woman gave me a good feeling and I knew they would protect me.

   ---- Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. After you have committed a transgression, you are taken back to hell by the ghosts to receive the sinful punishment of the frying pan of hell. Because you have done good deeds and accumulated virtue in this life, the Eastern Glazed Medicine Buddha himself saved you and exempted you from the hellish punishment.

  In addition, in your food offering, you have returned to all sentient beings in hell, so the merit is very great and you are swiftly spared from the plague of hell. Giving food, amazing and true, is very
