A reminder to give food back: you can always give back to successive generations施食回向提醒：可以经常回向历代祖先

To whom the food is given = to whom the merit is shared. Giving back to your ancestors will enable them to receive the benefit of merit and also complete your filial piety.

----- Zhuge Changqing

  Namo Amitabha Buddha.

  Namo Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, the original teacher.

  Venerable Fusheng Infinite Heaven.

  Remembering our ancestors, giving thanks to them and making them happy is a traditional virtue of our Chinese people.

  Returning the merits of food giving to our ancestors is one of the good ways to repay our ancestors.

   To whom to give back the merits of food giving = to whom to share the merits.

  Zhuge Changqing believes that returning the merit of food giving to our ancestors will enable them to receive merit benefits.

  As the Qingming Festival approaches, Zhuge Changqing recommends that, with immediate effect, you add the following to your food offering to your ancestors so that they will receive the benefits of merit and bless your family with prosperity and good fortune.

   1. There is no need to call for invitations, just a direct return.

   2、Each time, you can add to the final reversion to the ancestors of the past generations.

   3、Content of the return: to the ancestors of the past generations to get rid of suffering and happiness and be reborn immediately.

     Zhuge Changqing wishes all those who are filial to their parents, do good deeds, give food, and donate scriptures for printing, 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 teaches a quick way for those who wish to study the video on giving food ----

   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.
