A. The overall dedication of merit of these teachings

From the five sections of the final summary, as for the overall dedication of merit of these auspicious teachings, having well resolved all the details of words and meaning, now at the completion of the treatise, there is a dedication of merit to benefit others. Beginning with the first explanation of the title, up to the explanation of the meaning of the ultimate fruition, as for this auspicious presentation of words and meaning:

From the great clouds of merit of this good explanation,
By many feasts of rain, whose nature is that of peace,
Increase the goodness and happiness of beings of the three levels.
May all the Conqueror’s feast of wealth be self-existing.

In the totally vast and spotless space of mind, are these great heaping clouds of auspicious explanation. Arising from the prajñas of hearing, contemplating, and meditating, may a thousand thunders resound.

From sending forth the flashing lightning of this auspicious garland of scripture, reasoning, and oral instructions, by the falling feast of cooling rain of peace and happiness, in the minds of the beings of the desire, form, and formless realms, may the seeds of the virtuous essence of the dhatu of dharmas be moistened. As they fulfill their power of growing ever greater, by the great qualities and activity of the enlightenment of buddhahood, may there be perfect mastery of the inexhaustible wheel of ornament of body, speech, and mind.
