Prayers to Recite Before Lunch
Compassionate Lord, All-knowing guide, Field of merit and ocean of qualities, Tathagata, to you I pay homage
Through purity free of attachment; Through virtue free of the lower realms; Uniquely ultimate supreme, Peaceful Dharma, to you I pay homage.
Showing the path that frees those seeking freedom; Well-established in the trainings; Pure among fi elds possessing qualities; To the Sangha I also pay homage.
To the principal Buddha, homage. To the Dharma that protects, homage. To the Sangha assembly, homage. Homage always to the three.
The qualities of Buddha are inconceivable. The qualities of Dharma are inconceivable. The Arya Sangha are inconceivable. Through generating faith in the inconceivable, The karmic ripening result will also be inconceivable. May we be born in a pure realm.
To the precious Buddha, the peerless guide; To the precious Dharma, the peerless refuge; To the precious Sangha, the peerless liberators. We off er to the three jewels of refuge.
This food, which has a hundred flavors, Which is mouth watering and well-made, To the king and his sons we off er with faith. Through this offering, may all migrators become wealthy And enjoy the food of concentration.
Seeing this food as medicine, We eat it without att attachment or aversion, Not to become fat, not out of pride, Not to look strong, only to sustain the body.
Prayers to Recite After Lunch Mantra to offer food to the pretas

I prostrate to the Bhagavan the Tathagata, the Arhat, the fully accomplished Buddha, King of Jewel Light, Thoroughly Illuminating Fire Light

BHUTAYA BODHISATTVAYA / MAHA SATTVAYA / MAHA KARUNIKAYA / TADYATA / OM NIRALAMBHA NIRABHASE JAYA JAYE LAMBHE MAHA MATE DAKSHI DAKSHENAM MEPARISHVADHA SVAHA
May those who off ered food to me att ain the happiness of total peace. May all those who off ered drink to me, served me, received me, respected me, and made off erings to me att ain the happiness of total peace.
May all those who scold me, make me unhappy, hit me, att ack me with weapons, and do things to me in every way up to the point of killing me att ain the happiness of enlightenment and may they manifestly completely awaken to peerless, perfectly complete Buddhahood.
Through the merit of off ering food, may they have good complexion, magnifi cence and strength, fi nd foods having hundreds of tastes and be further sustained by the food of samadhi.
Through the merit of off ering drink, may their hunger and thirst of delusion be pacifi ed. May they possess good qualiti es such as generosity and take rebirth without sickness or thirst.
One who shows generosity, the recipient, and the acti on of generosity are not to be observed as existi ng inherently.
Through thinking in this way, may the benefactors receive all the merit equal to such generosity combined with wisdom.
Naga kings Nanda and Upananda, Gods with faith towards the Dharma, Leaders and patrons too, And other needy beings May they win long life, health, abundance, And eternal happiness.
