So much merit…
During liturgies, after each meditation session, after everything we eat (including snacks). Bonus: I do it again after liturgies, and after every meditation session, while waiting my turn to leave the shrine room. After service periods, after study periods, especially after I’ve spent time copying chants or sutras into my journal. After I feed the birds. During a walk, as I stand looking out across the water and sea ice to the impossibly distant horizon. After circumambulating and three prostrations at the Stupa. At the top of the ‘mountain’ next to the Abbey. Spontaneously, after figuring out how to plumb a sink with Palmo’s assistance. After making a sign for Ani Pema. After a particularly tasty cup of hot cocoa.
Oceans of merit. Oceans of it.
