Giving and releasing food: Dreaming of heavy snow, red clothes and red quilts施食放生感应：梦到下大雪、红衣服、红被子

To give food is to rescue living beings, dissolve karmic obstacles and overtake debtors, with great blessings and induction.

---- Zhuge Changqing

  Giving food is enlightened by Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha himself.

  Giving food, touching heaven and earth, is protected by the God of Dharma Protection.

  Giving food can help living beings, dissolve karmic obstacles, overtake debtors, change destinies and accumulate blessings.

  Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha said that all food giving can help living beings, overtake debtors, dissolve karmic obstacles, enlighten karmic destinies, and possess supreme merit and virtue. If you continue to give food, you are bound to have great blessings.

  The food should be given in accordance with the rituals of food giving.

   For those who are fortunate enough, you can read more about the food-giving rituals and articles on food-giving on Mr Zhuge Changqing's Sina blog.

  Lin Ji, a loving and caring person, has had many inspirations after studying the rituals of food distribution and food giving. He posted a message on Mr Zhuge Changqing's Sina blog saying  

Hello, Mr Zhuge Changqing.

  I started giving and releasing food in November 2012.

  Since then, I have had many strange dreams, the main ones are

  1. rivers breaking; rivers rising; water flowing very large and clear.

  2. heavy snowfall in summer. Heavy snow in winter; I was flying in the snow; the road was full of snow and I was sliding in the snow; snow in the house; snow in the yard.

  3. Buying clothes. Colourful clothes, I go to choose clothes; buy clothes for my mother; buy clothes for my sister.

  4. Buying headdresses.

  5. dreaming about the bed.

  6. Quilt. Pink quilts. Red quilt. I even went to dry the quilt.

  7. eating. There was eating at the table, there was going to the canteen to buy food, and someone invited me to eat.

  8. Lots of jade on the floor and I picked up one after another.

  9. I had a handful of thorns on my hand, like a cactus, and after I pulled them out, there were still some.

  These are the main scenes, and in all these scenes there are my family members and relatives.

  Can you tell me what this is all about?

  Amitabha Buddha.

               Giving food and releasing life to a kindred spirit, "Lin Ji"      

Teacher Zhuge Changqing replied.

  Amitabha Buddha.

  You are doing very well. If you continue to give food, you will be blessed.              Your dream is a very good sign that you will have great merit and will be blessed in the future.

  1. The river is very big = release of life = giving food and manna water = giving food and releasing life to save many living beings.

  2. It is snowing heavily = glazed world = your body and mind are clean = great fruitfulness.

  3、You are flying = great merit = empowered by Buddha and Bodhisattvas = enhanced Dharma power = refined practice.

  4. Colourful clothes = Blessed by Buddha and Bodhisattvas = Wealth and good fortune = What you want in the world of bliss.

  5. Beds and pink quilts = thick merits of food giving and releasing = wealthy and auspicious in the future.

  6、Eating = success in giving food to save many living creatures.

  7、Picking up jade = great merit and virtue in releasing food and blessings = wealthy and auspicious in the future.

  8、Cactus stabbing you = you have a wrongdoer who comes to your door to collect your debt and needs to be overruled.

  9、You are a beginner, read more of your teacher's Sina blog posts to enlighten your wisdom.

  You are doing very well.

  Have faith in perseverance and cheer up.

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

    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.

   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 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. 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. Dao De Tian Zong.

Heavenly Sovereign of Taiyi for the Relief of Suffering. Confucius, the Greatest and Most Holy Teacher. Jesus Christ. Muhammad.

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten directions.

　　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.
