Verse
of Transference
May the merit and virtue received from this work,
Adore the Buddhas' Pure Lands;
Repaying four kinds of kindness above,
And aiding those suffering in the paths below.
May those who see and hear of this,
All bring forth resolve for Bodhi,
And when this retribution body is over
Be born together in Ultimate Bliss.
Care of Dhamma Books
Dhamma books should be treated with respect – keep off from the
floor and places where people sit or walk – and not step over them.
They should be covered or protected for transporting and kept in a
high, clean place separate from “mundane” materials.
Other objects and materials should not be placed on top of Dhamma
books.
Licking the fingers to turn pages is considered bad and created
negative kamma.
If it is necessary to dispose of Dhamma materials, they should be
burned rather than thrown in the trash. Before burning them, first recite OM
AH HUM. Then visualize the words of the texts absorbing into the AH, and
that absorbing into you.
These considerations may also be kept in mind of Dhamma artwork,
as well as the written teachings and artwork of other religions.
