Food Giving Quiz: Why is she afraid of toads in particular?

施食感应问答：她为什么特别害怕蛤蟆

Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha said that continuous food giving can eliminate karmic obstacles, increase fullness of fortune, and eliminate disasters and prolong life.

----- Zhuge Changqing

Greetings, Mr Zhuge Changqing.

    Amitabha Buddha, how are you, Mr Zhuge?

    I have been giving food for seven or eight days now. During this period, whenever I take a nap every day, I must be in a hazy state, and when I lie down, I have many scenes, but I cannot remember them vaguely.

   At lunchtime and in the afternoon, both arms were particularly uncomfortable and I wanted to hit something, then I would hit my right arm with my left hand and my left arm with my right hand, so that I felt better. And often my hands shake, I'm a bit hypoglycaemic, but even when I've eaten and drunk enough, my hands still shake. I used to have all of the above before I gave food, just not as often.

    I also start dreaming at night as soon as I lie down, it's messy but I don't remember any of it. Only the little dream near dawn could sometimes be remembered. I know that this is because I have been tired of my karma and I must have smoked their sutras before and am sorry for them. But when I get up in the morning it rarely happens in the middle of the day, so why is it so heavy in the middle of the day? Why? Also this situation is very difficult for me, I know this is the karma I have to suffer, I just want to dissolve the grievances between each other quickly, I hope the teacher will guide me on what to do.

    Also, sometimes when I am chanting with my legs in a single coil, I feel like snakes, toads, loaches, eels and the like are coming from underneath me. Last night, I recited a food offering that invites all the things I eat, hurt, harm and deceive (my eyes are closed and I can't feel them when they are open).

   In reality I am most afraid of toads crawling on my head, and I wake up with a start, instinctively pulling the blanket over my head and feeling very sick at the same time. I have had this dream twice, once when I was in primary school and once a few years ago.

  I hope you can give me some guidance

  Amitabha Buddha.

                                        A student of Buddhism with a destiny

Teacher Zhuge Changqing replied as follows.

    Amitabha Buddha.

   Don't be anxious and don't worry, you will soon be fine.

   1. Those sensations that make your body heavy are actually your wrongdoers coming to your door to collect their debts. You can repent and invite the wrongdoers who are causing you discomfort in your arms and other conditions to participate in the food offering.

   2. Feel some animals (snakes, toads, eels, loaches, crabs, lobsters) coming into your body. ----- This is a sentient being that you have hurt in your past life, just repent sincerely and invite them to participate in the food offering. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and most popular ones.

   3, you are particularly afraid of toads, had the most horrible dream is to dream of toads lying on the quilt ---- means that you have hurt the most in the past life is toads, they are very poor, after being hurt, into the path of hungry ghosts, need to transcend ah. You just need to sincerely repent and call to participate in the food giving.   

   If you have strong faith and persevere, you will be blessed.

佛祖释迦牟尼佛说，持续施食可以消除业障、增满福德、消灾延寿。

----- 诸葛长青

诸葛长青老师您好：

    阿弥陀佛，诸葛老师您好！
    我施食有七八天了，在这期间，每天只要睡午觉，一定都属于朦胧状态，一躺下就好多场景，但模模糊糊记不得，醒来浑身酸软，身体里的经脉好像好像被抽空了一样，一点劲都没有。

   中午和下午那一段时间，两个手臂都特别难受，想打东西，然后我就那左手打右臂，右手打左臂，这样才感觉好。而且经常手抖，我有点低血糖，但即便吃饱喝足的时候，手还会抖。我以前没施食之前，也有过上述种种情况，只是没那么频繁。
    晚上睡觉也是一躺下就开始做梦，很乱，但都不记得。只有天快亮时的一点梦有时候能记得。我知道这是我累劫以来，业障深重，肯定之前抽过他们的经，对不起他们。可是早上起来就很少出现中午的情况，中午为何这么重呢？为什么呢？还有这种情况让我很难受，我知道这是我要受的果报，只是想快点化解彼此之间的冤结，望老师指点我怎么做。
    还有，有时念佛的时候双腿单盘，感觉有蛇啊癞蛤蟆泥鳅黄鳝之类的从下面往我身体里钻。昨晚施食念到召请我所食所伤所害所欺骗的一切（我是闭着眼的，眼一睁开就感觉不到）。

   现实中我最怕癞蛤蟆了，往我头上爬，我一下子就惊醒，本能的把被子蒙到头上，同时觉得特恶心。这个梦梦过两次，一次是上小学时，一次是前几年
  希望老师指点迷津
  阿弥陀佛。

                                        一位学佛有缘者

诸葛长青老师解答如下：

    阿弥陀佛。

   别着急、别担心，很快就好了。

   1、那些让你身体沉重的感觉，实际上就是你的冤亲债主上门讨债。你忏悔并召请让你手臂不舒服等状况的冤亲债主参加施食就可以。

   2、感觉到一些动物（蛇、癞蛤蟆、黄鳝泥鳅螃蟹龙虾），钻到身体里来了-----这是你累世伤害过的众生，真诚忏悔、召请参加施食就好了。持续召请回向，一直到感觉消失。

   3、你特别害怕蛤蟆，做过最恐怖的梦就是梦到癞蛤蟆趴在被子上----说明你累世伤害最多的就是蛤蟆，他们很可怜，被伤害之后，进了饿鬼道，需要超度啊。你只要诚忏悔、召请参加施食就好了。   

   坚定信心持之以恒，必有福报。

                                                        诸葛长青

    1.《施饿鬼甘露经》云：「虽施阿罗汉、辟支佛，现受其报有限有量，但得五百劫人天果报。善施饿鬼一揣之食，是人福德即是菩提，菩提者不可限量，是故福寿不可限量。」
    2.《救拔焰口经》云：「若比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷，常以此密言及四如来名号，加持食施饿鬼，便能具足无量福德。寿命延长，增益色力，善根具足。」
    3.《甘露味经》云：「又復一法，若人遇大重病，及诸鬼病等，当作麵粥三器，咒之七遍，於旷野中，施诸饿鬼。如是二七日，所遇病痛即得除癒。」
    4.《甘露味经》云：「若復有重罪恶业累障，难可除断者，每日咒乳粥以施饿鬼，满足七日，一切罪障悉灭无餘。」
    5.又云：「若能振发丈夫之人，日日修行。一日施食，一天下饿鬼皆得食喫。多日施食，十方六趣，一切饿鬼尽得饱满。」

    6.《救拔焰口经》云：「则同供养百千俱胝如来功德等无差别。」
    7.《救面然经》云：「常修净行，具足成就，供养百千俱胝恆河沙数如来功德。」
    8.《施诸饿鬼经》云：「即如是种种以供养十方一切诸佛无异。」
    9.《甘露味经》云：「十方饿鬼，欢喜饮食。当尔之时，十方剎土现在诸佛遥讚行者，復与遥授菩提之记。一切菩萨欢喜爱念，一切天龙各各将香花、瓔珞，种种伎乐遥施行者。」
   10.《救拔焰口经》云：「比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷诵此密言，善根具足。一切非人，夜叉罗剎，诸恶鬼神不敢侵害。」
    11.《救面然经》云：「诸四眾诵此陀罗尼，顏色鲜洁，威德强记。一切非人，步多鬼等。夜叉罗剎，并诸饿鬼，皆畏是人，心不忍见。」
    12.《甘露味经》云：‘若当来世能持此经，当知是人已为便摄二十种大福德聚。
