The Five Contemplations
This food is the gift of the whole universe, the earth the sky, and much hard work.
May I receive it gratefully, and eat in mindfulness.
May I transform my unskilful states of mind, and learn to eat in moderation.
May I take only foods that nourish me, and prevent illness.
I accept this food in order to realize the path of understanding and love.*
Finishing Meal Gatha
My bowl is empty. My hunger satisfied.
I vow to live for the benefit of all beings.*
"If you look at what you do and what you believe in, there is a gap of miles, and that distance has to be bridged. As an yoga aspirant, let your life not be a paradoz, but take the opportunity to explore the true depth of yoga." p.11
"To be a competent yoga teacher you don't need to know a range of practices or perfect your presentation, but your understanding and approach to teaching has to develop to reflect the progression of yoga from practice to sadhana. You have to move from the practice aspect to the sadhana aspect and then to yogic lifestyle." p.11
