First, external obstacles: such hungry ghosts often suffer from hunger and thirst, so they have messy faces, black faces, haggard faces, dry lips and mouth.
They can only lick their mouth with their tongue.
Although they run around for food, the pool water they see turns into pus and blood and can’t drink.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva’s great compassion is willing to transform the light into “Yankou Neng Ren”, that is, face burning guru, so as to spend the hungry ghosts and all sentient beings.
In this suffering world, Bodhisattvas spread their blessings of “Yankou Neng Ren”, so that they can quickly get rid of the pain and get relief from the suffering of hunger and thirst.
According to the dharoni Sutra of Buddha said to rescue Yankou hungry ghosts, Buddha was said by Bodhisattvas and bhikkhus in the city of kapira.
At that time, Ananda lived alone and practiced meditation.
After midnight that night, Ananda suddenly saw a thin and ugly hungry ghost named “Yankou”, who was burning with fire in his mouth, had a thin throat like a needle and disheveled hair.
Ananda was frightened when he saw the hungry ghost at the mouth of the fireworks.
The Yankou hungry ghost said to Ananda, “in three days, you will die and be reincarnated into the hungry ghost path, just like me!” Ananda panicked and hurriedly asked, “if I will fall into the hungry ghost path and suffer after I die, is there any way to prevent me from suffering?” the Yankou hungry ghost said: “Yes! If you can give hundreds of trillions of hungry ghosts, such as the sands of the Ganges, and hundreds of thousands of statues and immortals pasted on the old custom door of the Brahmaputra tomorrow, and use the Dendrobium utensils used by the people of the Magadha country to give each one a Dendrobium food, and support the three treasures for me, so that I can leave the suffering of the evil way and go to heaven, and you can avoid the suffering of falling into the hungry ghost way and increase my life!” After hearing this, Ananda immediately went to ask the Buddha.
The Buddha told Ananda, “you don’t have to worry and fear.
Those hungry ghosts at the mouth of fireworks are actually the manifestation of Guanyin Bodhisattva for the benefit of all living beings.
I have a convenient method here, so that you can give hundreds of thousands of Ganges sand, so many hungry ghosts, gods and other foods in an instant.” so the Buddha declared for Ananda “Boundless Weide is calm and bright, which is superior to Miaoli tuoroni”, which is also the mantra of changing food widely preached in the Buddhist recitation book.
The Buddha told Ananda: “if anyone recites this mantra, he can satisfy the countless hundreds and thousands of hungry ghosts in the Ganges and the statues and immortals pasted on the Brahmaputra’s old custom door, and make them all enjoy the food of Dendrobium 77dendrobium used by the state of Mogadishu.” Next, the Buddha introduced to Ananda the origin of the teaching and inheritance of the mantra of changing food: “Ananda, when I was a Brahman in my previous life, I received this mantra in Guanyin Bodhisattva and in the world at Weide Tathagata, so I can give countless hungry ghosts and gods all kinds of food, so that they can get rid of their demons and die in heaven.
Ananda, if you can accept this mantra today, the life expectancy of blessings will increase.” At the same time, the Buddha declared and recited the names of the four Tathagata, namely: Nanwu Duobao Tathagata – (to eliminate the suffering of hungry ghosts and get support and welfare), Nanwu Miaosheng Tathagata – (to make the surface of hungry ghosts no longer ugly) Nanwu Guangbo Tathagata – (to make some short and small hungry ghosts tall) Nanwuli dreadful Tathagata – (make hungry ghosts no longer afraid and come to enjoy food) when practicing this method, take a clean bottle, fill it with clean water, put less rice and various cakes, hold the bottle in your right hand and recite the toroni seven times.
Hungry ghosts rush to make hundreds of hungry ghosts in Ganges sand eat.

This dharma takes all beings in the hungry ghost path as the main object of feeding.
When Yankou is released, all hungry ghosts will have transcendence, which has also become one of the Buddhist rites recommended to the dead.
