intellectually respond to these skillful
contemplations ?
*The Five Contemplations:
1) Food is a gift of the Earth, the sky, numerous living beings and much hard loving work.
2) May we eat with Mindfulness and gratitude so as to be worthy to receive the food.
3) May we recognize and transform unwholesome mental formations, especially our greed/selfishness.
4) May we take only foods that nourish us and keep us healthy.
5) We accept this food so that we may nurture our sisterhood, brotherhood, build our Sangha [realizing that we are all interconnected in life] and nourish our ideals of serving all living beings.
