OFFERING OF MERIT

It is thought that spiritual teachings such as these, and the positive changes that potentially take place within the individuals, societies, and cultures in which they are practiced, have a profound effect on the world.

May this be true. And may any goodness that comes from these teachings be offered, in all directions, to all beings everywhere. May all beings be free from suffering. May all beings do what needs to be done to uncover the great natural peace of the enlightened potential within. May our life’s energy be in the service of truth and the defiance of ignorance. May any merit that is generated by these words and actions be shared with everyone everywhere, bringing about more understanding and less confusion in this world.
