I would not call having no humility offering the Dharma. I would not call effort in worldly secret mantra practices a love of the Dharma. I would not call applying no effort toward realizing emptiness renunciation.

Some householders might gather roots of virtue and create vast amounts of merit each day for a hundred years, yet this would not amount to even one percent of the merit of someone who abides by the teachings for just a single day after going forth.

Thinking, ‘I will liberate them
From the immeasurable suffering of saṃsāra,’
They will completely cut free
All those trapped by the webs of attachment and views.

Anyone who writes this down, or has it written down, will be serving the blessed buddhas with every respect and honor. If one wonders why this is, it is because the tathāgatas have declared that serving sentient beings is serving the buddhas.

Since what is beyond the range of sense perception is not apparent,
Look directly at what is present:
When people experience happiness in this world,
That is the karmic result of former generosity.

A wise one does not rely on conceptual references.
Since awakening is beyond reference point, I do not fixate on anything.
Those who know that all phenomena are empty
Will not forget the mind set on awakening.

The world has the characteristic of space,
And space is devoid of characteristics.
Those who know this
Are unstained by worldly concerns.

The end of all accumulation is dispersion.
The end of rising is falling.
The end of meeting is parting.
The end of living is dying.

Good looks, skill in arts and crafts,
Diligence, insight, and all the other qualities that
Sentient beings possess have arisen from merit.
Therefore, merit is most important.
