顯密圓通成佛心要集 2.32

2.32

若濟餓鬼，每於晨朝及一切時悉無障礙，取一淨器盛少淨水，置少飯及諸餅食，以左手執器，右手作寶手印，（以大拇指壓頭指中指小指，舒無名指用攪食上。施仙食亦作此印。）誦前變食呪七遍加持已，然後稱四如來名號：南無多寶如來、（能除餓鬼慳悋業，得福德圓滿。）南無妙色身如來、（能破餓鬼醜陋形，得色相具足。）南無廣博身如來、（能令餓鬼喉咽寬大，所施之食悉皆充足。）南無離怖畏如來。（能除餓鬼一切怖畏，得離鬼趣。）稱四如來名號已，彈指七遍，取於食器於淨地上，展臂瀉之。（或淨石上，生食臺上，淨足器中皆得。）作此施已，於四方百千俱胝那由他恒河沙數餓鬼前，各有摩伽陀國七七斛食，受此食已悉皆飽滿，盡捨鬼趣生於天上。（若有比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，常以此密言及四如來名號加持於食施諸餓鬼，便能具足無量功德，短命之者壽命延長，薄福之者福德增榮，又得顏色鮮潔威德強記，速能滿足檀波羅蜜，一切非人夜叉羅剎諸惡鬼神皆畏是人，不敢侵害。）

If relieving hungry ghosts, every morning and at all times without hindrance, one takes a clean vessel containing a little pure water, places a little cooked rice and various cakes and food in it, holds the vessel with the left hand, and forms the Jewel Hand Mudrā with the right hand (pressing the index, middle, and little fingers with the thumb, and extending the ring finger to stir over the food; this mudrā is also formed when giving food to ṛṣis). Having chanted the previous Food-Transforming Mantra seven times to empower it, one then recites the names of the Four Tathāgatas: Namo Prabhūtaratna Tathāgata (able to eliminate the stingy karma of hungry ghosts and attain complete merit), Namo Surūpakāya Tathāgata (able to destroy the ugly forms of hungry ghosts and attain complete physical features), Namo Vipulakāya Tathāgata (able to broaden the throats of hungry ghosts so that the food bestowed is fully satisfying), Namo Abhayamkara Tathāgata (able to eliminate all fears of hungry ghosts and enable them to leave the ghost destiny). Having recited the names of the Four Tathāgatas, one snaps the fingers seven times, takes the food vessel, and, on clean ground, extends the arm and pours it out (doing so on a clean stone, on a platform for making food offerings, or into a clean basin is also permissible). Having made this gift, before hungry ghosts in the four directions numbering hundreds of thousands of koṭis of nayutas of Gaṅgā sands, there are in each case forty-nine hu of food of the country of Magadha; having received this food, they are all fully sated, entirely renounce the ghost destiny, and are born in heaven. (If there are monks, nuns, upāsakas, or upāsikās who constantly empower food with this esoteric mantra and the names of the Four Tathāgatas and give it to hungry ghosts, they will be able to fully possess immeasurable merit: those with short lifespans will have their lives prolonged; those of meager merit will have their merit increase and flourish; furthermore, they will obtain fresh and clean complexions, strong majestic virtue, and retentive memory, and quickly fulfill the dāna-pāramitā; all non-humans, yakṣas, rākṣasas, and evil ghosts and spirits will fear this person and not dare to harm them.)
