The Korean Buddhist T'aego Order Meal Gathas


Before the Meal:
This food comes from the labor of beings past and present.
From this our body-mind is nourished, our practice sustained.
Gratefully we accept this meal.

After the Meal:
The Buddha was born in the Lumbini Gardens
He attained Enlightenment at Bodhi Gaya.
He set in motion the Wheel of Dharma at Sarnath.
He entered Parinirvana at Kusinara.
