Meal Prayers

Short Chenrezig Meal Practice

Visualize that the offerings are purified and increase.

Om Ah Hung

Remembering the Three Jewels, take refuge and offer the food visualized as a vast display.

Tn pa la med sang gye rin po che

Khyop pa la med dam ch rin po che
Dren pa la med ge dn rin po che
Kyap ne kn chog sum la ch pa bul

To the precious Buddha, the highest teacher,

To the precious Dharma, the highest protection,
To the precious Sangha, the highest guide,
To you rare and sublime refuges, I offer this food.

Jo wo kyn gyi ma go kun dog kar

Dzog sang gye kyi u la gyen
Tuk je chen gyi dro la zig
Chenrezig la cho pa bul

To the unstained Lord, whose body is white in color,

Whose head is adorned with a perfect buddha,
Who views living beings with the eyes of compassion,
To Avalokiteshvara I offer (this food).

Recite the Mani as many times as possible

Om Mani Peme Hung

While reciting the mantra recall all sentient beings who have passed away, especially those who lost their lives in the
preparation of the meal and generate compassion for them. Expand your awareness to include even the insects that were
harmed in the course of raising, transporting or cooking the vegetables and grains.

Meditate that all beings attain the state of liberation through this prayer.

Ge wa di yi nyur du dag
Chenrezig wang drub gyur ne
Dro wa chig kyang ma l pa
De yi sa la g par shog

By the virtue of this practice,

Accomplishing swiftly the Lord Avalokiteshvara,
May all beings without exception
Be liberated to his level.
