☘️ Lyrics: The food in the monasteries is like mountains, the alms bowl is everywhere for you to eat.

Gold and jade are not precious, only the robe is hard to wear.

Worldly glory is a dream at midnight, even emperors feel the troubles of the mortal world.

Better to be a pure monk, carefree and at peace.

Eating simple and delicious food, wearing patchwork robes.

Spreading the Dharma and benefiting sentient beings, all due to the Bodhi seeds planted in past lives.

The Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are the lamps of the world, guiding the lost out from the sea of ​​suffering.

Abandoning worldly vanities, wholeheartedly pursuing the path to enlightenment.

The Sangha is pure like a field of merit, sincere offerings bring boundless blessings. Every meal, every bowl of food, is a product of karma; every drop of nectar nourishes the heart.

With united hearts, the assembly offers alms to the Sangha, respectfully giving food to cultivate virtuous connections.

The merit of offering the four requisites is vast, increasing blessings and wisdom, illuminating the ten directions.

It repays the fourfold profound kindness above, and relieves the suffering of the three lower realms below.

Today we plant the seed of Bodhi; tomorrow we will all reach the other shore together.

A bowl of rice from a thousand homes, a single thought offering to the ten directions

Fragrant clouds pervade the Dharma realm, boundless merit

Today, we establish good karma, offering food with sincere devotion

May our pure hearts spread blessings to all sentient beings

Namo Buddha, Namo Dharma, Namo Sangha, Namo Three Jewels

Namo Buddha, Namo Dharma, Namo Sangha, Namo Three Jewels

A bowl of rice, a bowl of incense, offered with a single-minded devotion, a pure thought

Pervading the ten directions; a bowl of rice, a single connection, a single thought, a single wish

May all sentient beings be free from suffering and attain happiness

May this merit extend to all

Repaying the fourfold kindness above, relieving the suffering of the three lower realms below

May we be reborn in the Buddha's Pure Land, We and all sentient beings together attain Buddhahood

A single thought of pure mind, a single-minded offering

Nectar and fragrant heart pervade the ten directions

A single thought of compassion arises, a single thought of good roots is held in the palm

Sincerely offering to the Three Jewels, blessings and wisdom increase daily

Namo Buddha, Namo Dharma, Namo Sangha, Namo Three Jewels

Namo Buddha, Namo Dharma, Namo Sangha Homage to the Three Jewels

A bowl of rice and a cup of water, offered with utmost sincerity;

Planting the field of merit, joyfully giving;

Respectfully offering, may this heart be dedicated to all;

The merit of offering to the Sangha is supreme, may boundless blessings be dedicated;

May all sentient beings drowning in suffering swiftly reach the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha;

All Buddhas of the ten directions and three times, all Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas;

Mahaprajnaparamita

The assembly unites to offer to the Sangha, respectfully giving food to cultivate good karma;

The merit of offering the four requisites is vast, increasing blessings and wisdom, illuminating the ten directions;

Repaying the four profound debts of kindness above, relieving the suffering of the three lower realms b...
