AN EXCESSIVE USE OF ‘SELF-CULTIVATION’ MANTRAS/SUTRAS TO PRAY FOR WORLDLY BLESSINGS CAN BE EFFICACIOUS BUT IT WILL DEPLETE ONE’S MERITORIOUS BLESSINGS ✾
THOSE WHO TRANSFER MERITS FOR THE BENEFIT OF SENTIENT BEINGS WILL GET REWARDED WITH MERITS IN RETURN; MERITS USED FOR SELF-INTEREST WILL BE EXPENDED ✾
TO RESOLVE THE ‘3, 6, 9 PREDESTINED CALAMITIES’, ONE SHOULD GO ALL OUT TO PERFORM MERITORIOUS DEEDS APART FROM RECITING LITTLE HOUSES ✾
PRAY TO BODHISATTVA TO CATEGORISE OUR MERITS INTO TWO PURPOSES – FOR KEEPING IN RESERVE AND FOR THE ELIMINATION OF KARMIC OBSTACLES ✾
