【Kind tips】

For dinner, you can taste the buffet vegetarian meal at Puhua Temple, the merit is 38 yuan/person (included in the fee). All kinds of vegetarian meals, self-use, do not waste.
In Buddhism, when a Taoist eats a meal, he should visualize five things:
1. Calculate the amount of merit and measure the place where it came from (in the face of offering, you should count how much merit you have done, and consider the difficulty of grains of rice, where it is not easy to come from)
2. Concerned about one's own virtues, all lacks should be provided (remind and reflect on oneself by receiving food, and think about whether one's own virtues can bear such an offering?)
3. Prevent the mind from faults, greed, etc.
4. Good medicine for business, to treat dryness (Take the food you receive as a good medicine for curing physical and mental hunger and thirst.)
5. In order to become Taoist karma, so accept this food (it is necessary to borrow fakes to cultivate the truth, if you don’t eat, you will be hungry, weak and sick, and it is difficult to achieve Taoist karma; but if you are greedy, you are prone to various diseases. Therefore, you must eat in moderation to qualify for Taoism .) Eating is both practice and the "five views" of food, even food as hard as gold and stone can be digested; on the contrary, it is difficult to digest even a drop of water.
