Summary

The Buddha, in the Garden of Jeta Grove, teaches about how bodhisattvas can achieve great rewards from even small acts of merit and how to dedicate those merits to all beings for attaining enlightenment. This involves cultivating kindness in thought, word, and deed towards the Buddhas and all sentient beings, and practicing virtues such as non-violence, honesty, and compassion. The teaching emphasizes the importance of dedicating all merits to the ultimate goal of enlightenment, highlighting the emptiness of past, present and future for a pure dedication. Those who learn and practice this dedication will attain profound wisdom, liberate others, and eventually become Buddhas. (AI generated)
