Summary

s.1This text is a prayer of dedication that strongly resonates with the later Tibetan literature of mind training (blo sbyong). In addition to the classic element of dedication of merit to all beings, a substantial part of the text comprises a passage that enumerates the many faults, shortcomings, and afflictions that burden sentient beings, as well as the many possible attainments that they consequently may not have realized, and culminates in the wish that everything negative that would otherwise ripen for sentient beings may ripen instead for the reciter, so that all sentient beings may thus be liberated and purified.

s.1這是一篇迴向的祈禱文,與後來的藏傳佛教修心教法緊密相通。除了傳統的將功德迴向一切有情眾生的要素外,文本的實質部分包含了一段列舉眾多的過失、缺陷和煩惱,這些都是困擾有情眾生的,以及眾多他們因此可能未曾實現的成就。這段文字最後以一個願望作為高潮,希望所有原本會在有情眾生身上成熟的負面業果,能夠轉而在誦者身上成熟,使得所有有情眾生因此都得以解脫和淨化。
