You should feel so happy that your life has been very beneficial for sentient beings for whom you have taken the bodhisattva vows. Please remember this every day when you take the bodhisattva vows. You have to practice the six paramitas, including charity, patience and so forth.

When you take the wishing vow, your body, speech and mind, and belongings and three-times merits [are given] to every sentient being. That includes the monastery manager and anybody who cheated you as a Westerner. In reality there is nothing that belongs to you. OK?

So in reality there is nothing to cling to that, thinking, “This is mine.” Please write this down in your prayer book, the Six-Session Guru Yoga.

In your practice, you especially dedicate to those who harm you. You benefit them in return, with strong compassion for those beings. [This is] in many books.

Every Six-Session Guru Yoga includes totally giving your body and possessions and three-times merits to the six-realm sentient beings. That means every human being, including the manager, and every ant, mosquito and fly, down to the tiniest creature.

For example, when you dedicate the merits of the past, present and future to every sentient being, they get the merit, like every ant, every mosquito, the tiniest insects, every hell being and every preta being. They need this very badly.

When you do puja, for example, or create virtuous actions, the person who is dead gets the benefits, and many are able to return in human form. So like this, everyone gets the benefits including your enemy whom you really hate and don’t want to see. He also gets [the benefits].

Rinpoche added: Please write all this down and send it to Holly so that it can benefit many sentient beings. People can see so clearly what an incredible practice this is. Do it before you die.
