1. verse of transference
" May this virtous merits,
Adorn buddha pure land;
Repaying four kind of kindness above,
And aiding those sufferings in the three paths below.

May those who see and hear of this,
All bring fortyh the Bodhi resolves;
When this retirbution body is over,
Be born together in the land of ultimate Bliss. "
* this verse of transference is usually recited , at the end of one prayer or performance or meritorious works, to universally transfer or share merits accrued therefrom with all sentiendt beings throughtout the dharma realm.
source: from a free buddhist booklet i got many years ago.
Author note: it is said that if one transfer one merit, then one merit will not be destroy by one own anger , heresy, ill will. plus the merit will grow stronger. if one transfer merit to one own family or relatives, the merit accrue will last one for about 3 lifetimes. however if dedicated to not related to one, the merit will many more lifetimes. though generally one dedicated merits because it helps the other person who receive it. and also for enlightenment reason.

imge url: http://resources.tsemtulku.com/free-downloads/buddhas-and-bodhisattvas.html?nggpage=4
main mantra is green tara mantra : "Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha"
*recomended to start with the number you are comfortable with. as all tara mantra help purify by ripening karma at early stage. I always go with om mani padme hum mantra and you will know why ;)
* i don't recite that much of tara mantra with mala bead because i had go through experiences where a lot of karma ripening at the same time . so i leave this up to your own judgement.

Author note: help build merits that prolong life.

3. Rejoice on other people virtues activity.
- this mean that if someone has done good deed or virtues activity. you will get some merit simply for rejoice at the work they did. This is also call the lazy man gaining merit way (a term nickname by some of the buddhists in our present time)as all one needed to is to be happy at other people virtues work and merit and one will get a portion of the merit. while it is said that the person who did such virtuous activity, their merit is also become stronger if someone rejoice at their work.
Author note: do try to ensure that the virtues activity is wholesome as possible. if one rejoice at the wrong thing, one may get very unwholesome karma. recite the general confession to guru vajradhara in 'chant a mantra' book if one realise one rejoice at the wrong thing.  Therefore , one should always rejoice at the work done by the sangha and genuine monks as the genuine monk always keep precepts and do works that benefit sentient beings that generate great merits and also because it is wholesome virtues activity.

4. Transference merits (from sutramantrainfo)
May the merit of my practise
Adorn buddha pureland
Requite the fourfold kindness from above
And relieve from the suffering of three life journey below.
Universally wishing sentient beings ,
Friends, Foes and karmic creditors,
All to activate the bodhi mind,
and all to be reborn in the land of ultimate bliss.
source: http://www.sutrasmantras.info/prayers.html

(from the efficacious language of Heaven and Earth Shurangama mantra. Great Compassion Mantra Book)
May these adornment and pure merits and virtue,
Be dedicated to the Dharma protecting dragons and gods,
To the mountain and river spirits of the tree realms.
And to the guardians who watch over our sangharamas.
We pray that blessings, peace and goodness
Be an adornment to Bodhi which is unsurpassed,
Vowing that all, both our enemies and those we are close to throughout the Dharma realm.
Will enter the sea of Vairocana's nature together.

*consider going for mala bead . a standard mala bead should consist of minimum 108 beads (that represent 108 types of worry ,  some mala had additional beads for error or mistakes in your recitation )  . therefore it is good as helping you to remember how many you have recited . mala bracelet is also good but you may from time to time lost count of how many you have recited and had to restart all over again. as for the proper way of using mala and wearing it and taking care of your mala beads, its best that you get advice from proper instructors. you may want to consider ask a guru or monk in temple to bless your mala. The more you recite, the more your mala protective powers will grow to the point it can become a very strong protective talisman.


*Blow your mala bead when you have finish recite mantra for the day as this mean for your personal protection.

*You may need another mantra which is call heruka vajrayogini mantra which helps to make your mala blessings get stronger as we are living in a degenerative time (meaning negative karma getting stronger with each passing time) . This mantra is said to be the more degenerative it is, the more powerful this mantra will be.

* if one face obstacle while reciting mantra, the solution is to do sur offering to wandering ghost. another option is to light an incense (such as sandalwood incense, where spirits obtain their food through smell) and put it on the windows side , or outside one house as charity food to wandering ghost. then obstacle one is facing will be dispel. therefore buddhist are being encourage to do sur offering before they start their daily mantra practise .
