Pre-meal Ode
by Dr. Tong Yun-kai,
President of The Confucian Academy
Grateful we are to Heaven,
For his favoring all life on earth;
Grateful we are to our parents,
For their nurture and education;
Grateful we are to Confucius the Sage,
For his teachings of benevolence.
Let’ s nourish our mind with righteousness,
and our body with food.
Each and every grain of rice is the
fruit of toiling farmers.
