A Theravada Meal Chant

A Theravada Meal Chant Wisely reflecting, I use this food Not for fun, not for pleasure, not for fattening, not for beautification, Only for the nourishment and maintenance of this body, For keeping it healthy, For helping with the Holy-life, Thinking thus, "I shall destroy old feelings (of hunger) And not produce new feelings (of overeating). Thus there will be freedom from physical discomfort and living at ease. The only change I have made is to replace almsfood with food.
