Elaborate dedication prayer

Post by Toenail »

I would like to do a more elaborate dedication sometimes. Are there longer prayers for this? There are very long confession prayers for example. Any suggestions?

The classic elaborate dedication, used in all or most of the Tibetan traditions is the King of Prayers. Here is the Lotsawa House link:

ZangCho Monlam is good, that is the link Dranyen provided.
There is also Karma Chagme's DeChen Monlam, quite long....there are many others....some specific to lineage.

རྟོག་གེའི་ཡུལ་མིན་བླ་མའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།
སྐལ་ལྡན་ལས་འཕྲོ་ཅན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་པ་སྟེ།
དེ་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ལ་ནི་ལོ་རྟོག་སེལ།།

It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."

The dedication chapter of Bodhisattvacaryavatara is another option.
