Spreading Merit
When a candle is lit in a dark room, it illuminates the room to some extent, but its power is limited. But if you use the same candle to light another candle, the total brightness increases. If you continue to do this, you can fill the room with brilliant illumination. The idea of transferring merit to others is like this. If we keep our own light selfishly hidden, it will only provide a limited amount of illumination. – Master Sheng Yen, “Rich Generosity” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
