In order to spread our merits to others, our mind must first be meritorious—full of merits. We increase these merits until they overflow, then we spread them without limits. We resolve that these merits should go to all of our benefactors. And, we wish that they rejoice with us, be they celestial beings or holy beings, whether here or elsewhere—we wish that they receive the merits that we have made. If they are currently suffering, we wish that they would soon be free from sufferings. If they are already happy, we wish that their happiness would grow.
Finally, may the benefits of the merits that we have made and are making—including alms-giving and maintaining Buddhist precepts—become penance, strength and condition for all practitioners to receive happiness and progress. May all of your wishes come true.
