Dedication Prayers by Lama Zopa Rinpoche_II

Due to all the past, present, and future merits collected by me, all the three times' merits collected by numberless sentient beings and numberless buddhas, may bodhichitta be actualized in one’s heart.

May it be generated in the hearts of all sentient beings, especially the supporters, those who areserving the organization in the past, present, and future, especially those serving Kadampa Center, in the hearts of our family members; for bodhichitta to be generated and in those whose hearts it has
been generated may it increase.

May the supreme jewel bodhichitta
That has not arisen, arise and grow;
And may that which has arisen not diminish
But increase more and more.

Due to all the past, present, and future merits collected by me, all the three times' merits collected by numberless sentient beings and numberless buddhas, may bodhichitta be actualized in the hearts of all the leaders of the world, especially in those countries where there is unbelievable suffering, may bodhichitta be generated in their hearts…

May the supreme jewel bodhichitta
That has not arisen, arise and grow;
And may that which has arisen not diminish
But increase more and more.

Due to all the past, present, and future merits collected by me, all the three times' merits collected by numberless sentient beings and numberless buddhas, may bodhichitta be actualized in the hearts of all the people who follow different religions, may this world be filled with perfect peace and happiness, may whatever we do never harm and may it become only the cause of perfect peace and happiness.


May the supreme jewel bodhichitta
That has not arisen, arise and grow;
And may that which has arisen not diminish
But increase more and more.

Every single understanding of Buddhism that we have, every single purification we do every day by doing the practice, every single merit we collect, every time we generate bodhichitta and it becomes cause of enlightenment, every time we meditate on lam rim and plant seeds of enlightenment, all this is due to the kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama; and, secondly, due to the kindness of Lama Yeshe. So pray for His Holiness the Dalai Lama to have a stable life and all his wishes to be successful; and pray for whatever wishes Lama Yeshe had to become successful; for Lama Osel to be like sunshine in the world, especially for young people, to turn their minds toward enlightenment.

Pray to actualize immediately all the prayers that Chenrezig made for Tibet in the presence of the buddhas and bodhisattvas.

Due to all the past, present, and future merits collected by me, all the three times' merits collected by numberless sentient beings and numberless buddhas, may all the father and mother sentient beings have happiness, may the lower realms be empty forever… May I be able to cause all this by myself, alone.

Whatever suffering other sentient beings have may it ripen upon me. Whatever happiness I have may it ripen upon other sentient beings.

Due to all the past, present, and future merits collected by me, all the three times' merits collected by numberless sentient beings and numberless buddhas, may oneself and one’s own family members, all the students in the organization, all the supporters who have served the organization in past and are serving now, everyone in this world; may we be guided by Lama Tsongkhapa being the Mahayana direct guru in all our lifetimes, never be separated from the pure path admired by all the buddhas.

Due to all the past, present, and future merits collected by me, all the three times' merits collected by numberless sentient beings and numberless buddhas, which exist but totally do not exist from their own side, may the I who exists but who totally does not exist from its own side, achieve Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s enlightenment, which exists but totally does not exist from its own side, and lead all sentient beings who exist, but who totally do not exist from their own side to that Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s enlightenment which totally does not exist from its own side by myself alone who totally does not exist from its own side.

May the organization, the FPMT, be most beneficial to sentient beings, to spread the lam rim teachings, cause the sentient beings to have lam rim realizations, and in particular the Kadampa Center (center wherever we are) to be most beneficial and to spread the lam rim teachings, the cause of realizations, in the hearts of sentient beings, and for oneself to spread the lam rim realizations in the hearts of all sentient beings.

May Lama Tsongkhapa’s teachings, which unify sutra and tantra and are like refined gold, spread in the hearts of everyone in this world.
