@@BuddhaWeekly I've said it before but I'm sincerely grateful for your efforts spreading the Dharma and educating people through your website, KZbin videos and Spotify collection. Buddha Weekly was instrumental in starting my daily practice of the Vajra Guru mantra. I feel it has helped quiet my mind and blessed me as I've been experiencing a difficult time. The information you've shared about Padmasambhava is helping changing my life.

Sincere question as a new Mahayana Buddhist ❤️ in this video, I believe I heard the narrator say you must add “svaha/soha” to the end of any mantra so that it’s dedicated to other people automatically. Can anyone elaborate on this, or let me know if I’ve misunderstood?

[@BuddhaWeekly]

Thank you for your question. It's wasn't a suggestion that you add "Svaha" but when it is there, it is meant to represent "thus it is" and dedicate the merit of your practice to the benefit of sentient beings. Some mantras don't have Svaha, so the suggestion is to just consciously know that all mantras, if they are Mahayana Buddhist, are dedicated to the merit of all sentient beings. This narration is meant to break down why mantras are a complete practice including Refuge and Dedication (especially if you are in a rush and can't complete a full practice.) If you want to formalized the practice, you just add your Refuge Vow and Bodhichitta Dedication before and after a mantra session. But it is understood that even if you don't, they are implicit (not necessarily explicit) in every Mahayana Buddhist Mantra, thus making it a complete practice. Hope that helps.

[@liaforubeb]

I don't understand, how to dedicated and seal the merit? By doing fire puja and vajrasattva? Or svaha is enough?

[@BuddhaWeekly]

🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 Dedication comes from the heart. We practice with the intention to become Enlightened so that we can in turn help other beings. Normally, to formalize this, at the end of our recitations, practices and offerings we simply say: "I dedicate the merit of this practice to the cause for enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings." If we're doing a formal Sadhana it will already be part of that (usually at the end.) Yes, you're right, if you are conscious of your intention, the svaha at the end can be considered your dedication. Fire puja is different. It's really an "offering" (puja is basically "offering") but a formal fire puja seals the merit of retreat, and in doing so, purifies any mistakes we might have made in our retreat. You don't need a fire puja to dedicate merit for other practices, but, of course, it's meritorious to do them whenever you have an opportunity. (And, they are certainly purifying in nature!) They are very beautiful offerings. (Note; Fire Pujas that end a formal counting retreat are more formal and have extensive requirements.) Above I'm referring to the more common fire pujas as an puja offering."
