D. the dedication of merit of the situation

Now the merit of proclaiming the nature of these in song is dedicated as a cause of benefiting sentient beings:

So by this pure Dharma feast, the source of happiness,
May all the beings that dwell within the three habitations
Be able to nourish themselves on joy and happiness,
Wearied by all the various kinds of suffering,
Today may the nature of mind, be able to come to rest.

That is the aspiration. And by the auspiciously-caused merit of this wreath of genuine words and meanings, may all the beings here in the three worlds of beginningless samsara, impoverished and exhausted in the Dharma of accumulation of merit, be enriched by the true wealth of the noble ones, so that their weariness may be eased.

May those tortured by massive flames in Hell and so forth
Be cooled by a lake of celestial water gently falling.
Wreathed in circlets of jewels, their faces adorned in light,
Having gone to the realms of the gods, may they be enlightened.

Thus may hungry ghosts, animals, and asuras,
Human beings and gods, becoming of equal fortune,
Having attained the joy of the celestial realms,
Attain the enlightened peace, where not even an atom exists.

Awakening from the pure view and good dharmas of meditation.
And also the absorptions of the four formless attainments,
By having completely perfected themselves in merit and wisdom
May they attain a state like that of lord Amitabha.

By this good and true intention which is mine
May all samsaric beings be led to total peace,
May they perfect the two benefits, striving day and night.
May they attain the limitless major and minor marks.
