C. The dedication of merit for the general topics

Now the merit is dedicated for the benefit of sentient beings:

Thus by the rain that falls from these good and auspiciousness clouds,
The crop of sanity thrives within the minds of beings.
Impoverished by the host of evils of samsara,
May the weariness of mind today be brought to rest.

The virtuous roots of understanding and the pure space of the spotless fields, arising as the natural state, pile up into thick clouds. By the cooling rain of Dharma amrita continuously falling for all beings, when the harvest of exertion in the supreme virtue of holy Dharma has been established, may the poverty of samsara, with all its sufferings of poverty mentality be pacified. May beings be satisfied by the virtues of the essence of enlightenment. May their weariness be eased.

In the host of tormenting fires of suffering of this world
By the continuous falling rain of Dharma amrita,
After all beings have realized the absolute mind,
Cooled and refreshed, may they attain the ocean of wisdom.

In this beautiful ocean of buddha-quality lotuses,
Relying with devoted joy upon the paths and bhumis,
Carried by the shining waves of the six perfections
May they swim the vast sea of the two accumulations.

Having seen all dharmas to be like dream and illusion
May the mind attached to true existence vanish.
From within the state that is like an emanation
May the good accumulations be produced.

May the phenomenal world, samsara and nirvana,
Be purified in overarching unity.
