CONTEMPLATING FOOD

 

FIVE CONTEMPLATIONS BEFORE MEALS

1.  How much energy and efforts it took, to get this food to me;

2.  How I honor this gift of life on a daily basis and how I give back what is offered to me;

3.  How this food protects me from the greed of anger and the illusion of being seperate;

4.  How this food nourishes my body and maintains my health;

5.  How this food awakens me to my life and instils in me the joy to keep walking.
