Dedication of Virtue Like the Buddhas of the Three Times

Dedication of Virtue Like the Buddhas of the Three Times expresses the supreme aspiration of Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna practice: to seal all accumulated merit with dedication (pariṇāmanā). By dedicating virtue in harmony with the wisdom intent of the Buddhas of the past, present, and future, merit becomes inexhaustible and free from loss. Rooted in non-attachment and bodhicitta, such dedication transforms every wholesome action into a cause for complete enlightenment, ensuring that all virtue ripens solely for the liberation of all sentient beings.
