Transfer-of-Merit Vow (Parinamana) For All Donors

May all the merit and grace gained from adorning Buddha’s Pure Land, from loving our parents, from serving our country and from respecting all sen­tient beings be transformed and transferred for the benefit and salvation of all suffering sentient be­ings on the three evil paths. Furthermore, may we who read and hear this Buddhadharma and, there­after, generate our Bodhi Minds be reborn, at the end of our lives, in the Pure Land.
