[Anumodana] Share you daily small and large merits here, and take part on the food given by others

Post by Johann »

Sharing merits, as merit of generosity to build up relation and merit ofvirtue/duty if within relation, to share food within a "family", as well as to nurish on it and approve, rejoice on it, is fundamental food for bending view toward right view and prosperty for all, somehow the lunch-room for people desire to grow in Dhamma and do such in healthy, elevating and joyfull way: No going forth without joy, no path without delight.

My person thought to put it on topic here, so that Anumodana can be easy traced.

May it be of much fruits for those making use of it by sharing best all of there small or large good deeds among generosity, virtue, concentration, wisdom and liberation, given or received.
Puññassidāni katassa
Yānaññāni katāni me
Tesañca bhāgino hontu
Sattānantāppamāṇaka.

May all beings — without limit, without end —
have a share in the merit just now made,
and in whatever other merit I have made.

Ye piyā guṇavantā ca
Mayhaṃ mātā-pitādayo
Diṭṭhā me cāpyadiṭṭhā vā
Aññe majjhatta-verino;

Those who are dear & kind to me —
beginning with my mother & father —
whom I have seen or never seen;
and others, neutral or hostile;

Sattā tiṭṭhanti lokasmiṃ
Te-bhummā catu-yonikā
Pañc'eka-catuvokārā
Saṃsarantā bhavābhave:

beings established in the cosmos —
the three realms, the four modes of birth,
with five, one, or four aggregates —
wandering on from realm to realm:

Ñātaṃ ye pattidānam-me
Anumodantu te sayaṃ
Ye cimaṃ nappajānanti
Devā tesaṃ nivedayuṃ.

If they know of my dedication of merit,
may they themselves rejoice,
And if they do not know,
may the devas inform them.

Mayā dinnāna-puññānaṃ
Anumodana-hetunā
Sabbe sattā sadā hontu
Averā sukha-jīvino

By reason of their rejoicing
in my gift of merit,
may all beings always live happily,
free from animosity.

Khemappadañca pappontu
Tesāsā sijjhataṃ subhā.

May they attain the Serene State,
and their radiant hopes be fulfilled.
