We humbly beg the three jewels for their illumination.
Having chanted the Verse from the "Life Span of the Tathâgata"
Chapter of the Lotus Sutra, we transfer the merit generated thereby
to the names of the deceased monks of this monastery and the
deceased sangha members throughout the dharma realm; to the spirits
of the founding patrons of this monastery, [names], and
the martyrs of every nation; to the donors enshrined in the mortuary
hall; and to the six close kin and seven generations of parents
of the pure assembly gathered at this monastery; and to sentient
beings throughout the dharma realm.
