This Mantra-blessed food is given
To those numberless sentient beings.
May all be satisfied without lust.

And get good rebirth in the Pure Land.
While repeating Buddha's Name
Take refuge in the three Gems and develop Bodhicitta,
Finally attain the Supreme Path and get the Endless Merit.
May every sentient being share the Dharma food.
Place the food on a pure place. (Do not put on a peach or pomegranate tree).
- Turn the merit to all beings
To you, all sentient beings
This food I give in offering.
May it fill the universe,
Each being received a share.
May this little merit be turned to all sentient beings.
May all who take it attain Buddha's full Enlightenment.
