Buddhist 
    Mealtime Prayer

​

This food is the gift of the whole universe,

the earth, the sky and much hard work.

​

May I live in a way

that makes me worthy to receive it.

​

May I transform my unskillful states of mind

and learn to eat in moderation.

​

May I take only that which nourishes me

and prevents illness.

​

I accept this food that I may realize the path

of understanding and love.
