A Commentary on Great Perfection: The Nature of Mind, Easer of Weariness In Sanskrit the title is ‘Mahāsandhi-cittā-visranta-vṛtti-mahāratha-nāma’. In Tibetan ‘rDzogs pa chen po sems nyid ngal gso’i shing rta chen po shes bya ba ’...

Now as for the dedication of the merit to perfect enlightenment, this true way:

When all beings by this essence, profound and luminous,
Have thoroughly pacified disturbances of mind,
Exhausted by long belief in complexity here in samsara,
May the mind today relieve its weariness.

Cooled by the appearance of the rain of this good presentation of this true, great path, by the quietly falling water of merit flowing into the filled ocean, when the disturbance of the kleshas of beings have been completely pacified, may this nature of mind exhausted by the beginningless complexities of samsara ease its weariness in the hermitage of the natural purity of dharmakaya and the great bliss.

May the mirror-like wisdom, the great full lake of dharmata,
In equality of non-thought, free from the stains of extremes,
Reaching the goal of renunciation/realization,
Fulfill without remainder all the hopes of beings.

Those who wander alone in the darkness of ignorance,
Oppressed by suffering in the torments of the three fires
Sightless and separate from the path of liberation,
Not remaining here, may they soon attain nirvana.

Though they have the freedoms and favors without exception,
They are impermanent and essenceless.
Having abandoned all unwholesome evil deeds,
Without exception may they attain enlightenment.
