Give Away Your Body, Enjoyments, and Merit to Others

We can generate loving-kindness by offering the numberless sentient beings in every realm our body, enjoyments, and merit. When we give all of our past, present, and future merit to the numberless sentient beings, they get whatever they want and whatever they need. This enables them to become Guru Shakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya, Chenrezig, or any deity. Rinpoche explains that when we do this, we collect skies of merit and purify the negative karma we have collected since beginningless rebirths and become closer to buddhahood. Offering charity in this way is the happiest life, Rinpoche assures us. The teaching for this episode was recorded on December 07, 2019, at Kopan Monastery, Nepal.
