1. This food is a gift of the earth, the sky, numerous living beings, much hard and loving work<\/strong><\/span>
\n2. May we eat with mindfulness and gratitude to deserve to receive this food.<\/strong><\/span>

\n4. May we vow to eat with loving-kindness and compassion to reduce the suffering of all living things and living beings, to protect the earth, and to put an end to the causes of abnormal climate change. Contemplate that mindful consumption of food and drink is very effective medicines to nourish and heal this body from illness and emaciation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\n5. For we want to build up the Sangha, nurture brotherhood and sisterhood and the aspiration to help life, we would like to receive this food.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\nA Master of the Ceremony read loudly: \u201cI would like to invite the Sangha to have lunch mindfully<\/span>.\u201d The whole Sangha reply together: \u201cNamo Buddhaya<\/em><\/span>.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Sharing the Merit<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
May the merit of cultivation today<\/strong><\/span>
\nBe direct toward all living things and living beings<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe and human beings<\/strong><\/span>
\nCan realize the Buddha\u2019s way together.<\/strong><\/span>
\nSadhu, l\u00e0nh thay, well-done, and excellence.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
