Food

“Both gods and humans

enjoy their food.

So what’s the name of the spirit

who doesn’t enjoy food?”

“Those who give with faith

and a clear and confident heart,

partake of food

in this world and the next.

So you should dispel stinginess,

overcoming that stain, and give a gift.

The good deeds of sentient beings

support them in the next world.”
