"Unless what?" I asked the python about the clouds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Unless they can actually eat, then they can be liberated!" Python Xingyun said, took a bite of the dish, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and motioned for me to take a bite too, but my interest has been mobilized by Python Xingyun, although my stomach has been protesting, but let me automatically block it.

I asked Python Xingyun, "Isn't that a paradox?" The hungry ghost beings you are talking about have such thin throats and eyes, and the food becomes coals of fire at the entrance, how can they eat? ”

"You don't know that, do you?" Python Xingyun smiled and said to me, "Have you ever heard of Mengshan giving food?" ”

I shook my head and said to Python Xingyun, "I've never heard of it, what does this mean?" ”

Python Xingyun took a bite of the dish and put it on the plate in front of me, and then said to me: "Mengshan food first began in the time of the Buddha. At that time, one day when Venerable Ananda was meditating in the Bodhi Forest, in the middle of the night, when he suddenly saw a hungry ghost burning all over his body, and he was very embarrassed. Ananda was so shocked that he said to Ananda, 'In three days you will die, and like me, you will fall into the path of hungry ghosts and suffer, but there is also a way to save it, if you can give food to the beings of the six realms and make offerings to the Three Jewels for us, you will be able to increase your merit and prolong your life. Early the next morning, Ananda told the Buddha, the Guru Shakyamuni Buddha, about this. So the Buddha secretly recited the Dharani mantra and said the method of eating. At the same time, the Buddha taught Ananda to recite the mantra of changing food, so that less food and drink can become more, from seven to seven, all the way to countless immeasurables. At the same time, Ananda was taught to recite the nectar mantra to turn the water into nectar. Let the spirits of the Ganges sand receive the food and drink, and let their six roots be pure, and immediately free themselves from all sufferings and reborn into the three good paths. ”

"His Holiness Ananda, who was supposed to live in three days, lived until he was one hundred and twenty years old. This was the beginning of the Buddha's giving of food when he was alive. After the python Xingyun finished speaking, he pointed to the dishes on my plate and said to me, "Aren't you hungry?" You taste it, it's really a human delicacy, a taste you can imagine. It's all going to be there. It's fabulous. ”

I tried to take a bite, and it was delicious, I picked a thumbs up to Python Xingyun and said to him: "Old man, this tastes really good, and the name is good, Qianchen Cai!" Well, it does taste like the kind of delicious food I've ever tasted. ”

Python Xingyun listened to my words, smiled with satisfaction, and then said to me, "There are two ways to cast Mengshan. That is, Da Meng Mountain and Xiao Meng Mountain. The Dharma Master holds a ritual according to the ritual, which is called Enlargement of Mengshan. At the time of Shi Dameng Mountain, Buddha statues were placed on the altar, water and food were prepared, and a lonely soul platform was set up opposite to offer the position of the 'Ten Dharma Realms and Six Realms and Spirits'. With the blessing of the Three Jewels, the public recites the mantra to directly show the idealistic method, so that the spirits can receive the three refuges. Worship the Buddha and confess, listen to the Dharma and receive food, and get liberation together. Every evening class in the monastery and dojo, the "Mengshan Food Ceremony" is also recited as a daily routine. Feeding Puji Ghost is called Xiaomeng Mountain! ”

"The objects of Mengshan's feeding are beings in the netherworld, who feel ugly in appearance and lack of food and drink in this life because of the sins they have created in their past lives. Bear all kinds of hardships, so I magnify Mengshan to give food to surpass them, and the purpose of giving food is. First, to repay the kindness: because the beings of the six realms have always been six relatives and dependents of each other since the beginningless eons, and they can't bear to see them suffer in the evil path, so they give food to save them. Second, for the sake of vigilance, using this method to make us think of the suffering of the three negative paths, and to be vigilant about our thoughts, words and deeds, and not to create negative karma so as not to perish. Third, in order to practice the Bodhisattva Path, Mengshan Food is to use great compassion and borrow the power of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, so that all beings in the six realms can come here to listen to the scriptures, listen to the Dharma, repent, increase the good roots, and become the Buddha together! ”

"Meng Gu is a bodhisattva heart, giving food and grieving sentient beings before they fall into the path of hungry ghosts, so there is this pre-dust dish!" Python Xingyun finished speaking unhurriedly, took a mouthful of vegetables and put it in his mouth to wash and chew. The expression was unusually pleasant.

I was puzzled and asked Python Xingyun: "Old man, can you tell me where Meng Po went?" What should I do after eating the front dust? ”

"After eating the vegetables of the past, let the sentient beings last miss the happiness of their time in the world before entering the six realms of reincarnation, and then they will drink Meng Po soup." Python Xingyun smiled at me and said: "Drink Meng Po soup, the past and old things have nothing to do with him anymore, when the time comes, those who should be punished will be punished, and those who should be reincarnated will enter reincarnation, whether it is the three good paths or the three evil paths, the six reincarnations will be treated equally." Python Xingyun put down his chopsticks and said to me: "As for the Granny Meng you mentioned, you can only meet it if you are fated, and she has not been crossing people here all the time." There will always be a chance in the future. ”

I was slightly disappointed after listening to Python Xingyun's words, and said to Python Xingyun: "I didn't expect the changes in the underworld to be so fast, it's completely different from the legend." ”

"Hehe, it's not fast, it's still slow!" Python Xingyun said to me: "The changes in the underworld are actually very boring, how many years can a female Bodhisattva like Meng Gu come out with a real bodhisattva's heart!" As soon as Python Xingyun's words fell, Meng Gu opened her voice and shouted: "Don't pat yourself!" Hurry up after eating, delay the reincarnation of sentient beings, can you bear it? ”

Python Xingyun smiled and said to Meng Gu: "I can afford it!" Aunt Meng, don't worry! ”

I sighed in my heart, no wonder Yin San would be so disgusted with the incense boy walking in the yin, if everyone is like me, go to the yin and clear the field, it really makes people angry, a few Yin brothers and sisters in the Yin don't have to do anything else, just be a commentator!

I was a little depressed in my heart, but my appetite was open, I took the initiative to take a bite of the dish, put it in my mouth and nodded with satisfaction, and muttered to myself: "Well, yes, it tastes so good, it actually tastes like the braised pork made by Wan'er herself!" ”

"Then you eat less," Python Xingyun said to me, "I'm tired of hearing you say that you can eat such a big bite." ”

"If you don't get tired of it, you won't get tired of it!" I closed my eyes and said to Python Xingyun while reminiscing: "You allow me to finish this mouthful, let's withdraw quickly, don't affect the normal work of others!" ”

"Then you hurry up and eat," Python Xingyun stood up after saying this, walked to Meng Gu's side, and seemed to ask something, Meng Gu lay in his ear and said a few words, I saw that Python Xingyun's face changed first, and then frowned and said something to Meng Gu, Meng Gu nodded at Python Xingyun.
