About this episode
This episode explores the concept of merit in Buddhist practice and the importance of dedicating it to enhance one's spiritual journey.
What is merit, why is dedicating it so important in Buddhist practice, and how do we dedicate to optimize our spiritual heart and path? Lamas Yeshe and Zopa invite us to explore this vital ingredient and enlivening mindset, one of three sublime principles in all Mahayana Buddhist practice. #buddhanature #Mahamudra #buddhism #buddhistmeditation #merit #dedicating merit Resources for this episode Majjhima Nikāya 29.
