What Is Merit?
Om Mani Peme Hung:
the mantra of compassion.
Generosity, patience, morality, discipline, meditation, transcendent wisdom; the mantra of compassion. The more we gain in understanding these six perfections, the more we gain in good qualities, right understanding, right conduct toward others.
Merit isn’t about how much money we give
– that is desire for reward.
Merit is how much we personally attend to others
– without expectation.
