Joyfully Sharing the Merit ❂

The melody of this chant reflects that of the opening chant: “Namo Tassa Bhagavato”
Closing Chant (Sharing the Merit)

Reciting the sutras ¹
practicing the way of awareness,
Gives rise to benefits without limit.
We vow to share the fruit with all beings.
We vow to offer tribute to parents, teachers, friends, and numerous beings

who give guidance and support along the path.


Sung at this novice ordination ceremony from 2016 (Plum Village / YouTube)
