Namaste everyone, I've noticed something very strange lately. To begin with, I have always been a very heavy eater, I would literally have to eat 4-5 meals a day, or I would be to hungry to concentrate on anything. A few weeks ago, I began to offer part of every meal I ate to hungry ghosts, hell beings and the like so they would suffer less. In the past week, I have continued this practice, but now, I only need one meal a day to sustain myself. Has anyone else experienced this? or failing that, do you have an explanation? Thank you in advance. Ryan William Murphy
thats a good idea. i assume that youre talking about tibetan philosiphy with talk of hungry ghosts and hell beings. if you have problems within these realm then i feel that seeing food as satisfying these realm especcially the hungry ghost, the state of desire and dissatisfaction. i would work more on releasing ones self from the human realm, the realm of innate ignorance. also do you do your technique to try to satisfy the god and demi-god realms which we can find ourselves?
I've never tried it with offering to god or demi-god realms, it always struck me as they have all the food and sensual pleasures they could ever want, so my offerings would be better shared among those who are suffering more.
