Advices by Gen Namgyel-la:
Before you start eating you have such great compassion for the hungry ghosts, that you take a small portion of rice, potato whatever and squeeze it between your fingers, so there are five indentations in the food, shaped like a sausage. You keep that on the side of the plate.
When you have finished eating, you recite the mantra OM U TSINDA PINDA ASHI BE SOHA three times, with the motivation to offer the food and the smell of food to the hungry ghosts around you.
Then you recite: By the power of the truth of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, may all my pure prayers come true immediately. I pray that all hungry ghosts will quickly take rebirth in the pure realm or in the human realm listening to the sound of dharma.
Dedicate. Place the offered food on a plate in a high place outside….birds can take, not dogs/cats etc.
