Q&A on the ritual of giving food: Can you give food during the Spring Festival

施食仪轨问答：春节过年可以施食吗

Feeding is one of the eighty-four thousand Buddhist methods. If you continue to feed, you will have great merits and great blessings!

-----Zhuge Changqing

The Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha himself taught the almsgiving.

Giving food should conform to the ritual. Finally, add the Great Buddha Vajra Mantra.

Feeding ritual reminder: add the Great Buddha Vajra Charm

If you continue to give food, you will have a huge blessing and a huge response.

Giving food is the way to help oneself resolve karma, overcome the grievances and creditors, save the common people, overcome the predestined creatures, harmonize the three realms, and harmonize the universe.

Continuous feeding can change the fate and respond to any demand.

Giving food is one of the eighty-four thousand dharmas that Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha personally revealed and enlightened.

Buddha said that as long as there is kindness, anyone can give food.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, many people who have a chance to celebrate the Spring Festival ask, can we give food during the Spring Festival?

Hello, Mr. Zhuge Changqing

Amitabha~~

Please consult Mr. Zhuge Changqing. It's time for the Lunar New Year. Let me think:

1. Is it "Zishi" on the New Year's Day, can we do charity?

2. Can the feeding ceremony be performed before the offering of Guanyin? I want to put a stick of incense on the Goddess of Mercy before the feeding ceremony, and then do the feeding ceremony~~Is that OK?!

Teacher Zhuge Changqing replied:

amitabha.

Hello. If you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you will be rewarded. Come on.

The answer to your question is as follows:

1. During the Spring Festival (including the first day of the New Year), it is not recommended to give alms.

2. Zhuge Changqing reminded: Don't give food here on the third day of the first month of the ninth lunar month. In the morning of the fourth day of the first month, you can start feeding.

3. Because during the New Year, many people go home to bury their ancestors' graves to welcome their relatives and ancestors in the netherworld to go home for the New Year. They also have to accept offerings during the Spring Festival. If the food is given, the whole procedure will be affected.

4. At the turn of the new year and the old year, the heavenly court and the local government will adjust the order, and the almsgiving will have an impact.

5. Because during the Spring Festival, firecrackers are set off everywhere. The power of firecrackers is so great that they can harm all living beings like lightning.

6. The ritual of giving food can be done in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva. When doing this, first give Guanyin Bodhisattva incense, then ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless you, and then back to Guanyin Bodhisattva to do the ritual (this is to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to be your backer). This is quite satisfactory.

7. You are a beginner. You usually read Zhuge Changqing's Sina blog about the ritual of giving food and the articles on the album of giving food to enlighten your wisdom.

Be confident and persevere.

Zhuge Changqing: If you respect your parents and do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you will be rewarded. Fast means three days, middle means three months, and slow means three years. There must be magic induction.

施食是佛法八万四千法门之一，持续施食，功德巨大，福报巨大！

    ----- 诸葛长青

  施食，是佛祖释迦牟尼佛亲自开示的。

  施食，要符合仪轨。最后添加大佛威德金刚神咒。

   施食仪轨提醒：添加大佛威德金刚神咒      

  持续施食，福报巨大、感应巨大。

  施食，即是帮助自己化解业障、超度冤亲债主、救助苍生、超度度化有缘生灵、和谐三界、和谐天地万物的方法。

  持续施食，可以改变命运、有求必应。

  施食，是佛祖释迦牟尼佛亲自开示、度化有缘的八万四千法门之一。

  佛祖说，只要有善心，任何人都可以施食。

  春节临近，很多有缘者询问，春节过年可以施食吗？

诸葛长青老师您好：

  阿弥陀佛~~

  请教一下诸葛长青老师，现在就要到农历新年了，我想一下：

  1、就是年初一那天“子时”，可以做施食吗？

  2、施食仪式可以在供奉观音之前做仪轨吗？我想在做施食仪式前给观音大士先上一柱香，跟着就做施食仪式~~这可样可以吗？！

             学佛缘者：董鉴常           

诸葛长青老师解答说：

  阿弥陀佛。

  你好。你行善积德，必有福报，加油。

  对你的问题解答如下：

  1、春节期间（包含大年初一），不建议做施食。

   2、诸葛长青提醒：农历大年二十九---农历正月初三，此间不要施食。正月初四清晨，可以开始施食。

  3、因为这新年期间，很多人回家给祖先坟墓上坟，迎接阴界宗亲祖先回家过年，春节期间他们还要接受供奉。如果施食，会影响整个程序。

  4、新旧年交替之间，天庭、地府会调整秩序，施食会产生影响。

  5、因为春节期间，到处燃放鞭炮，鞭炮威力巨大，像电似雷会伤害众生......。

   6、施食仪轨可以在观音菩萨面前做。做的时候，先给观音菩萨上香，再请观音菩萨加持你，然后背对观音菩萨做仪轨（这是请观音菩萨给你当靠山）。这样作比较圆满。

   7、你是初学者，平时多看诸葛长青老师的新浪博客施食仪轨、施食专辑文章，开悟智慧。

  坚定信心持之以恒，加油。

  诸葛长青：孝敬父母、行善积德，必有福报。快则三天、中则三月、慢则三年，必有神奇感应。
