Dedication “Protecting All Beings” (Toh 286) is a prayer of dedication that strongly resonates with the later Tibetan literature of mind training (blo sbyong). In addition to the classic element of dedication of merit to all beings, a substantial part of the text comprises a passage that enumerates the many faults, shortcomings, and afflictions that burden sentient beings, as well as the many possible attainments that they consequently may not have realized, and culminates in the wish that everything negative that would otherwise ripen for sentient beings may ripen instead for the reciter, so that all sentient beings would thus be liberated and purified.

This second episode in our Sūtras for Well-Being series focuses on two closely related, and recently published texts:
- The Dedication “Fulfilling All Aspirations” (https://read.84000.co/translation/toh285.html) and 
- The Dedication “Protecting All Beings.” (https://read.84000.co/translation/toh286.html)

And today, we are thrilled to share with you both Tibetan and English readings of these texts by two widely respected teachers of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition: Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche (English) and Pema Wangyal Rinpoche (Tibetan).

Open the texts in our online Reading Room (https://84000.co/translations/reading-room/), and follow along with the audio in the station above!

Ep. 2.2 | Tibetan | "The Dedication: Protecting All Beings" recited by Pema Wangyal Rinpoche

Nagarjuna's Sixty Stanzas on Reasoning, Kathmandu, Nepal, 1-7 October 2015

The Buddha told Shariputra that the best and only way to understand shunyata is through devotion. Talking about it is a waste of time. Rinpoche advises us to do things such as go to a stupa, offer a flower and say, "May I understand this truly non-arising". Offer another flower, "May all sentient beings understand truly non-existing, truly non-arising".

龍樹《六十頌如理論》

佛教中觀派祖師龍樹菩薩提出了兼容並蓄的緣起性空論，是我們了解佛教哲學的關鍵思想家。其著作《六十頌如理論》為中觀應成派的基本論典，以六十頌説明緣起，常被引用，是佛弟子了解緣起和中觀要義的重要論典。

Wisdom and Method, 27 July 2014 - Sydney, Australia
A unique feature of the Buddhadharma is the seemingly paradoxical interdependence of wisdom and method. As method is more tangible, it is easy to forget about wisdom. Meditation, for example, has become a popular method for stress relief. But making our lives more comfortable is absolutely not the purpose of Buddhism. We are entangled in habitual patterns and these habits, as they become solid, become an organized and rigid system. Using wisdom we can try to destabilise our habits and for this we need method. There are infinite methods to choose from, one of which is chanting OM MANI PADME HUM, the mantra of compassion associated with Avalokiteśvara. On a profound level, chanting this mantra creates a vibration in our mind, prana and chakras which will help to deconstruct our habitual patterns and enable us to see the truth.
