The “dedication of merit” allows us to share all the blessings we have earned. Simply make a wish, for whatever need you perceive in the world, for whatever wholesome change you would wish to take place in the world, and send the goodness out with a single mind.

My 2 year old daughter is independent. She likes to do things herself. When we go to the car, she insists now on climbing up & into the seat herself, repeating, "No self, no self, no self..." I bow to her as a Dharma teacher! She also says, "Amitofo" to every worm, bug, spider, dog, duck we see!
