Suggestions for giving food: give food 500 metres or more away from graves

施食建议：施食地点远离坟墓500米以上

Amitabha Buddha. Giving food is of immense merit, great blessing, changes destiny and accelerates Buddhahood and attainment of the path.

----- Zhuge Changqing

Namo Siddhartha Gautama, the original teacher. Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Wisdom and Self-Realization of Light.

Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Namo Vairocana Bodhisattva. Namo Kuan Shi Yin Bodhisattva. Namo Vajradhara Bodhisattva.

Namo Vajradhara. Venerable Yuan Shi Tianzong. Lingbao Tianzun. Tao Teh Heavenly Father. Taiyi Heavenly Father of Suffering.

Tai Shang Laojun. Sage Confucius.

Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is the foundation of good fortune.

Giving birth, giving food, reciting Buddhist scriptures, promoting the classical wisdom of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, giving relief to the poor, encouraging others, doing voluntary work, volunteering to donate blood, donating to print scriptures, donating to build temples and Taoist temples, carving Buddha statues and deities, promoting Dharma and benefiting the living, and preaching good virtue are all good ways to perform good deeds and accumulate virtue.

Since ancient times, all those with good fortunes have been families who have done good deeds and accumulated virtue.

For example: Mei Lanfang's father who performed good deeds and accumulated virtue, making Mei Lanfang famous.

Song Qingling and the other three Song sisters whose ancestral fathers did good deeds and accumulated virtue, making the three sisters world-famous

Su Dongpo's ancestors' good deeds and virtues made Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe famous throughout the ages ......

The familiar "Chancellor Liu Luo Pan", the Chancellor Liu Yong, comes from a famous family of philanthropists, with several generations of ancestors coming from the ranks of scholars.

His father, Liu Tuxun, was an official chancellor and was highly relied upon by the Qianlong Emperor, so Liu Yong had deep family roots when he embarked on his career.

During his lifetime, Liu Yong served as an official for more than 50 years, with his highest official position being that of a university scholar of the Tiren Pavilion.

Zhuge Changqing read up on the history of Liu Luopan's family and found that his family, from generation to generation, was a family of virtuous people.

Performing good deeds and accumulating virtue is like a tarzan, providing a strong force of blessing for future generations.

As the ancients used to say, "Those who came before us planted trees, and those who came after us will enjoy them.

The virtues of our ancestors are the reason for our family's fame and legacy.

Zhuge Changqing shares the words of the three great teachers of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism with those who are interested.

The Buddhist Shakyamuni Buddha said: "Everything is cause and effect, good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil.

The Taoist Lao Tzu said: "Heaven has no selfishness and is always with the good.

Confucius said: "A house of good deeds will be blessed.

A kindred spirit who continues to do good deeds and accumulate virtue left a message for Zhuge Changqing, asking what to do about the many graves in the countryside.

Zhuge Changqing replied that it is recommended that they be at least 500 metres long.

The answer is as follows.

I have seen the "five and one" that you mentioned and I dare to think that it is very good.

I have learned about Wang Fengyi's thoughts and have heard about Buddhism before, but I am grateful to my prions.

This year, I have followed the rituals of releasing and giving food. After doing so, I felt quite a lot. At first, I had a month.

Today, I heard from one of the brothers in the group that I had to be 500 metres away from the graves to give food, which was difficult for me.

This is not practical in our rural area and 200 metres is not easy to do.

Those who have a connection: on the way to do good deeds.

Zhuge Changqing answers: Amitabha Buddha.

You have a good heart and good thoughts, and you will be blessed if you continue to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

The answers to your questions are as follows.

1. It is recommended to give food as far away from the graves as possible, at least 500 metres away.

Why is this? According to Zhuge Changqing, this is to avoid disturbing the living beings in the graves.

 2. Generally the countryside is kept away from graves, and your place may be a special case.

What if you cannot avoid it?

Zhuge Changqing suggests that you.

 One is to choose a place in advance by cycling or driving around the village to investigate. Choose a place that is a good 20-minute distance by bike or car.

Secondly, you can do the rituals at home and then set off by bicycle or car and arrive at the new food-giving place in 20 minutes. 

Thirdly, you can go directly to the new place you have surveyed and give the food on the spot.

The above suggestions are for your reference.

Do not do any evil, practice all good deeds, be persistent and respond to all requests.

We wish the world filial piety and respect for teachers, stopping evil and doing good deeds, benefiting society and promoting the Dharma.

For those who continue to repent, let go of life, give food, chant and eat vegetarian food

Wealth and good fortune, good wishes, good fortune and early reward!

阿弥陀佛。施食，功德无量，福报巨大、改变命运、加速成佛成道。

----- 诸葛长青

南无本师释迦牟尼佛。南无阿弥陀佛。南无无量威德自在光明如来。

南无地藏王菩萨。南无虚空藏菩萨。南无观世音菩萨。南无金刚手菩萨。

福生无量天尊。元始天尊。灵宝天尊。道德天尊。太乙救苦天尊。

太上老君。圣人孔子。

行善积德，是好命运的基础。

放生、施食、念佛念经、弘扬儒家道家佛家经典智慧、救济贫困、鼓励别人、做义工、义务献血、捐印经书、捐建寺庙道观、雕刻佛像神像、弘法利生、宣讲善德等，都是行善积德的好方法。

自古以来，凡是有好命运的，都是行善积德的家族。

譬如：梅兰芳父亲行善积德，让梅兰芳名扬天下；

宋庆龄等宋氏三姐妹祖辈父亲行善积德，让三姐妹闻名世界；

苏东坡祖辈行善积德，让们苏洵、苏轼、苏辙三人闻名古今......

大家熟悉的《宰相刘罗锅》里面的宰相刘墉，出身名门相府，祖上数辈都是进士出身。

父亲刘统勋更是官居宰相，深得乾隆皇帝倚重，因此刘墉走上仕途具备深厚的家族渊源。

刘墉一生为官五十余载，官职最高时做到体仁阁大学士，清正廉洁，继承了父亲刘统勋的衣钵，成为乾隆、嘉庆朝的重要大臣。

诸葛长青单独拜读了刘罗锅家族历史资料，发现他的家族，祖祖辈辈都是行善积德的人。

行善积德，犹如泰山，为后代提供了强大的福报力量。

古人常说：前人栽树、后人乘凉。

祖辈积德，因而才有了家族名垂青史、万世传颂。

诸葛长青把儒释道三位大导师的话分享有缘者：

佛家释迦牟尼佛说：一切都是因果，善有善报恶有恶报。

道家老子说：上天无私、常与善人。

儒家孔子说：积善之家必有余庆。

持续行善积德的有缘者“行善路上”给诸葛长青留言，提问，说农村坟墓多，如何办？

诸葛长青解答为，建议至少500米以上。

结合他的留言解答如下：

诸葛长青老师你好，我是金居士，看到了你提到的“五和一”我敢觉很好，我也是无意中给老师你结了缘，非常感恩。

在这以前了解过王凤仪思想，并且也闻到过佛法，说到这，我还是要感恩我的寃亲债主。

今年，我放生、施食照着仪轨。做了后，感应也蛮大的。刚开始有一个月。

今天听群里的师兄讲，施食要离坟500米，这下难倒我了。

我们农村这不现实，200米也不好做，诸葛长青老师请开示，谢谢。

有缘者：行善路上。

诸葛长青解答：阿弥陀佛。

你有善心善念，持续行善积德必有福报。

对你的提问解答如下：

1、施食建议尽量远离坟墓，至少500米以上。

为什么这样呢？诸葛长青认为，这样做避免干扰坟墓中的众生生灵。

 2、一般农村都远离坟墓，你那里可能是特殊情况。

如果无法避开，怎么办？

诸葛长青建议你：

 一是提前骑车或者开车到村子附近考察，选择地方。选择地方以骑车或者坐车20分钟距离为宜。

二是可以在家里做好仪轨，然后骑车或者坐车出发，20分钟到达新施食地点就可以。 

三是可以直接到勘察好的新地方，现场施食。

以上建议供你参考。

诸恶莫作、众善奉行，持之以恒、有求必应。

祝福天下孝亲尊师、止恶行善、造福社会、弘法利生

持续忏悔、放生、施食、念诵、吃素的有缘者

富贵吉祥、心想事成、万事如意、早成果报！
