Buddhist Meal Blessing
Meals are wonderful opportunites for Buddhist practice. Meal time can offer a unique opportunity to understand interconnectness. Here's a meal blessing I wrote for those frequent occassions:
This meal appears for many reasons,
from buzzy bees to nature's seasons . . .
long lovely worms never ceasing,
have churned the earth, ever releasing -
nutrients to grow farmer's seeds,
may it nuture us like old growth trees!
With blissful gratitude we deeply bow,
actualising and engaging the boundless Tao!
