Blessing Anumodana | Ajahn Amaro & Dhammagiri Sangha | Sharing Merits

Dhammagiri Buddhist Podcasts - A podcast by Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage

Ajahn Amaro, Ajahn Dhammasiha and Ajahn Moneyyo recite the traditional Pali verses for sharing good karma with departed relatives, expressing their anumodanā (rejoicing) for all the kind support they received during Ajahn Amaros visit, and sending blessings to all beings. English Translation: As all the water in the streams is flowing to the boundless sea, Just likewise all your offerings are flowing to the spirit world. And all you wish for and desire shall soon and safely be attained; May wholesome wishes be fulfilled just like the moon at full-moon night just like a jewel sparkling bright. May all distress come to an end, may all desease be quickly healed, May all your problems be resolved, may you live long and happily. When someone's always honouring the elders worthy of respect, Then they will grow in these four things: long life, strength, beauty, happiness. 'They gave to me, they cared for me, they were my relatives and friends'; Give offerings to departed ones remembering what they've done for you! No crying or lamenting helps; your sadness and your grief is of No benefit to those you love, it will not do them any good. But all the offerings that you give to the community of monks Will reach your Loved Ones instantly and bring them long-term happiness. Your relatives, who've passed away, have now received your loving homage, and your lofty offerings. Your food and requisites give strength to all the monks - you've made a huge amount of wholesome karma now!
