The History and Meaning of The Sharing Merit Ritual (Pattidāna)

[@kaungmyatzay6704]

Sadu Sadu sadu 🙏🙏🙏 as I’m a Buddhist, I know this history in Myanmar but don’t have idea how to express it in English to my foreigner friends. Now I got it and many thanks for this Sayardaw🙏🙏🙏

[@jacq4jet]

Thank you for these explanations. It does help me a lot. I do not speak Burmese, nor understand Pali but I am Buddhist and am going regularly to Myanmar with my family to spend time in Taung Bila monastery, in Sagai mountains.

Thank you. This is very informative. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.

Beautiful. I had assumed that the pouring water was a symbolic gesture of ' handing over something of mine , with my consent, to you ' ... Hense at a marriage ceremony, the father hands over his daughter, lovingly nurtured as mine upto now, to the son in law, to be loved and cared for as we parents did ( and I give my consent to your divine partnership) ... similarly , the highest merit I have gained by Dana to the Sangha, is being passed on to the beings awaiting my donation... like this water flowing from a higher place to the lower place is filling and overflowing the cup, may my merit transfered to you assist you in being plentiful...

Very nice venerable master

Thank u Swamin Wahansa for that beautiful explanation. I came across your sermon whilst searching for the right terminology to explain to my son the value of donations and the meaning of transferring merits. What a wonderful explanation 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. May u realise the four Nobel truths comfortably and end the cycle of rebith this life. Theruwan Saranai.

It is difficult for me to pay respect to certain monks. Therefore, when I have to pay respect to such monk, I pay respect to the robe not the monk. The robe represent the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha.

When I give money to monks, I prefer to give "nawakama" (use as you wish), rather then robes and material supplies, for the monks to use as it suits them. I certainly do not know what are their needs. Many Sayadaws, looking after monasteries are struggling to insure the running costs of their monasteries and the minimum basic subsistence needs of their monks and novices. Also, most monks (99.999%) to whom I give have higher silas, better volition and understanding of Buddha's teaching then me. As a extra benefit to nawakama, when such monks use my donation, their donations increase the value of my initial donation because of their purer volition.

[@jacq4jet]

As for the pouring of the water, when I asked my teacher about this ritual, he replied: "What is the quality of the element water?" My reply was:" Of the four elements, water is the one that bond thing together." So I'm guessing that the pouring of water is to bond your donation with you and who you are sharing it with.

[@jacq4jet]

The volition is very important, if not the most important, when doing donation. Helping without expecting something in return. Donation should not be to inflate your ego.
